I have a hybrid (from VW), my next car will be full EV. I expect to buy this within a one or two years.

I'm in California. EVs are a tiny niche market, battery tech still has massive mileage and safety issues to overcome and the grid is not fit for purpose in most parts of the world.

China are building out scale EV infrastructure and since they are the main global market for vehicles going forward it seems inevitable they will ultimately own the EV transportation and infrastructure markets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_grid_in_China
