Maybe it will happen sooner as the cost of ICE vehicles and their high

operating costs will push them out of the market by more efficient

vehicles.

Mining equipment for Canadian graphite mine.

This equipment is very quiet so would be very usable in city construction

where the work goes on 24 hours a day and noise is not allowed after a

certain time at night.

There are problems now with the generation and distribution of electricity. How will the demand many times over be met? And do it without fossil fuel? Complete lunacy. My plan to harness the power of falling leaves makes more sense.

I have a new engine that runs on unobtainium......the thing is going to crush the EV and ICE engines when I can get a supply of unobtainium. Really, it is just around the corner if the Gov. would just grant me 2 trillion to develop it......

I'd invest in Kerosene. Its bound to be valuable when everything is switched over to unavailable electric. At least people can have lighting with kerosene then.

Really, all these similar electric posts (same op) are getting ridiculous.

+1, hence my sarcasm. And as I stated, this same guy is in other forums spouting the same exact propaganda.

Considering Canada's abundance of hydro power and relatively small population, they are in a much better position than the US to go electric. More Petro for the rest of us.

And then there's those Canadian winters,.... combined that with greater distances between cities. Yeah, just the place for EVs to be stuck in the ICE. :lol:

Yep, they certainly have some challenges in that regard.
