diesel is expensive and toxic. EVs will eat their market share too.
diesel is on demand and easily stored. What form or energy production isn't expensive???
Photovoltaic and wind turbines?
Only nuclear energy, which most countries have ignored and defamed.

But what do You say about the arguements that the transition can't be done economically and the econ will crash half the way or that their ecological footprint is horrible like Armstrong e.g argues? 'The National Renewable Energy Laboratory at the US Department of Energy believes the US needs 1.2 million charging stations by 2030, with the White House aiming for 500,000. They have built SEVEN charging stations.'

i say they are wrong.
why would the white house build EV chargers? that’s 7 too many if you ask me.
tesla has over 50,000 and there are dozens of competing networks rapidly scaling all over the world.
oh, and basically every single outlet that already exists can be used to charge an EV too. no adapters needed.

I think that if all the state regulations for internal combustion vehicles and electric vehicles were put on an equal footing without subsidies and sales bans, etc., then the picture would look completely different, and people would opt for high-quality internal combustion engines because they are significantly cheaper.

The market in Germany collapsed when the gov cut subsidies this year. They are too expensive. What about that?
