[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16701163, member: 116684"] People keep saying "EV mandates won't happen- the oil industry is too strong!" But they're not oil companies- they're energy companies. And they're the ones pushing the electric everything, because that means they get to corner the market. You think they could gouge you when you could switch between things like gasoline, oil, propane, natural gas, electric, etc...? Imagine when everything is electric whether you like it or not. Being fair the two issues won't stack- driving at 75mph is going to generate heat and help keep the batteries warm via the heating/cooling system. Now if you think about applications that need a lot of cabin heat, like buses, it isn't pretty. Because this shift will be immensely more profitable to them in the short term. It's not just going to EVs, it's going to autonomous EVs that they own and you subscribe to as a service. They have a vested interest in it. Individual freedom isn't as profitable. I think the insurance industry and OEMs are what are going to really force people's hands, whether they like it or not, with legislation following shortly after. [/QUOTE]
