Electric Vehicles’ Day Will Come, and It Might Come Suddenly

There was a demand for the internal combustion engine because it was a massive step-change from horses. Electric vehicles represent a marginal gain for people who aren't primarily concerned about the environment.

To be clear, I would like an electric vehicle, but I lack off-road parking so I don't see myself getting one for a decade.

I happen to have a number of gas station owners cousins. Their sentiment is, if there is demand for something, they’ll supply it. Charging stations, replaceable batteries, whatever. If there is profit to be made, they’ll do it.

As long as they can recharge in under 10 minutes, I'm happy.
