Oil is cooked. BYD is filing 52 patents every single day and has a 700 km in 9 minutes vehicle available TODAY ! Charging by Solar is going to be the norm. Watch : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgCYYrhL-kE

By "vehicles" do you mean "cars"?

Because airplanes are also a type of vehicles. So are container ships. Neither of which are very practicable with pure electric AFAICT, and are integral to modern life. (Though more marine hybrid could be practical.)

I think there should be more of a push for BEV/hybrid cars (and transport trucks), and think more home electrification would be good (though air sealing and insulation are more important, relatively speaking). But let us set reasonable expectations of what is possible at various timeframes (and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good/better).

		> Neither of which are very practicable with pure electric Yet. The surge in electric cars is a driving force for new tech - higher energy density batteries, faster charge rates, longer life, etc etc. For shipping it’s only a matter of when. Planes are harder, but just today electric choppers started flying in NYC. It’s coming.
