And that for me is the real risk. Too much herd mentality, too little thinking. There is likely just one chance in our lifetime to get such a big transition right. It’s still an open discussion if electric cars really do provide the needed environmental breakthrough (even if they are fueled with green energy). I believe there should have been, e.g., more investment in alternatives such as hydrogen before committing the world to electric cars
