But I do agree with the rest of what you say, EV is still in its infancy and right now there is really only one player in the market. Once the ability and technology catches up to ICE, and it will, that is when you will see a full scale adoption begin to occur. |

Let me guess it's an American made truck. Your uncle died in the South Pacific in WWII and no way will you buy Japanese. |

At one time microwaves and computers were in it's infancy. They'll have the EV's flooding the market someday and people will hold out like they did in so many areas. "Buy American" was the big slogan years ago to keep people from buying Japanese cars. And now the Japanese sell the most cars in America. Like i said before people are afraid of change |

If/when EVs actually have better capabilities than ICE, I'm sure they will be the vehicle of choice. That time is not now. |

They will get there at some point and they don't gaf about what your truck can do because the majority of the people that drive just go back and forth to work and to their local stores and that's the market they want and will get. |

His comparison to microwaves, however, is spot on. Albeit not in the way he intended.

It was also about buying American cars because they could see the shift of Japanese cars out selling American cars. Yes it had to do with fear of change and the BIG 3 losing the market. |

All of the people who were afraid to adopt a microwave for cooking are long dead. Same with all the Luddites who refused to give up their horses when the automobile came along. What we have today are people who are scared to death of EVs and especially self-driving cars, mostly because of the irrational feat that once these vehicles become mainstream the government will ban human-driven ICE vehicles.

Fear of change from The United States having a dominant auto industry to a dominated auto industry is like the fear of change from having the best military to an inferior military. The auto industry is a huge portion of the national economy and industrial capacity. There is a national interest involved. The change from gasoline cars to electric cars has no such interest. Your comparison is poor, which is why nobody ever makes it but you.

Perhaps because there are different tools that work better for different jobs? No one ever cooked a good Thanksgiving dinner in a microwave ...conversely, reheating, defrosting or boiling water is exponentially better/fast and costs less in a microwave than a conventional oven. Kind of like having a daily commuter that costs pennies per day to operate vs one that costs many dollars per day... |

I make a point with Yaddy about the Midwest and South 40-60 years ago and how they were slow to change in many area's and he brings up what's going on now in South and Midwest. I'am not talking about now, things have changed but they're always last from those regions for any major change. |
