Despite the reversals, the sliding backward into internal combustion engines, and the rhetoric around electric vehicles, they're probably the future. And not just because the Earth is warming at an alarming rate.
No, because, well, crude oil is a finite resource. And extracting that crude oil isn't the easiest method of energy production. It also costs a lot in the long term for corporations to shift against progress. I mean, administrations and representatives are finite themselves. They have end dates. Even monarchs, though they usually end up on the wrong side of the masses.
Which is why I say, electric vehicles are probably the future. So even though many manufacturers are returning to the internal combustion engine, they aren't going all in. New models will come about with a gasoline motor, but these same companies can see that they won't be able to do that in perpetuity. Electricity will come about, and if you aren't planning for that future, you'll be relegated to the same fate as the dinosaurs that currently power our vehicles.
