The Aftershocks of the EV Transition Could Be Ugly

Cars That Think

The introduction of any new system causes perturbations within the current operating environment, which in turn, create behavioral responses, some predictable, many not. The perturbations caused by transitioning EVs to scale are not market-driven, but government policy-driven to meet a climate-emergency. Turns out that it is.”
