"People would even be happy paying a bit more if it were beneficial for the environment." this triggered me because i had the discussion (as i wrote in my prev comment) with 5 people in their 50s and they found it funny when i said that even if the solar panels on the roof wouldn't help us directly, at least we would save co2 (my frustration with that group of people is high)

Yes it takes time but i strongly believe that this section of the curve can be shortened a lot by forcing companies by law, pushing consumers to risk a little bit more.

Do you regularly talk to older people or people outside of a big city? Because you constantly refute my points regarding this and all of those are examples of real encounters i had.

"Its easier to just go to a fuel station" "Its cheaper" "I like the sound of an engine" "I want to be able to drive 1000km without a stop" (while driving not more than 50km per day ...) "EVs explode" . . .
