I understand the sentiment, mind you.....but the last thing we'd want is for say 10 million Americans get motivated and all put EVs on the road tomorrow. We don't have anywhere near enough infrastructure to support a large EV market yet. If you want to hear something sad....the most conservative estimates say that if we started today we're still looking at around 40 years to have a full supportive infrastructure for EVs.

Like you, I got every appendage crossed for some type of soft'ish landing, but with everything going globally pitching a little gas here and there on our inflation fire I am almost 100% positive the Fed will have to keep throwing husky rate hikes and just man up and punch inflation in the nose. And I hate it, but there are going to be a lot of people lose their jobs or get hurt somehow else at that expense.
