I was listening to Bloomberg financial radio today. Yep, buy 2025 there are predictions that 20% of cars/trucks will be EV. Right now EV's make up only 5% of auto sales.

Also, not sure I believe it because there are Government insentives for EV's. But some people think it will be consumer driven.

BC set a target if 10 percent of personal vehicle sales to be EV’s by 2025 a few years back. As of November they achieved that goal this year. 5 years ahead of schedule.

I’m ok with the incentives. They spend less than 400 million a year on the EV incentives. They spend 10 ‘s of billions on incentives for the petroleum industry.

They were also saying the performance will be much better than a combustion engine that builds power slowly. EV's have power immediately which they were saying is a big difference with combustion engines.

Both our vehicles are EV’s. Both have impressive performance. New EV’s are even more amazing. Take a Tesla or an Eplus Leaf or a Kona for a drive. Best to leave your check book at home unless your ready to buy.

Good advise. But my salesman said he would keep it for me for 24 hours. Guess who was back the next day with a check.
