@@spannerx2k7 Thanks for the subscribe man I really appreciate it. I agree totally with all the points you’ve made and I don’t think anyone is thinking about it, which is why I’m trying to get the message out there that people have got to start thinking about this now. In the next decade the automotive landscape will change in ways we could never have planned for, anyone who doesn’t adapt will be left by the roadside.
I think you're at the extreme optimistic right of the bell curve, when it comes to your adoption time-frame. It will happen (The EV replacement) but not as quickly as you believe. Why? Well, there's a large subset of the car-buying public that can only (or choose to) buy used cars, sometimes towards the end of their service life. Right now, there aren't the headline new sales of EVs in place to feed that future used market. Or is it really the intention - that only the wealthier or credit worthy can own/subscribe for their new EV, one that is value-less at the end of its warranty period? So they buy another. Subscribed anyway - as you are an engineer, so do know stuff!

Simple facts reveal there isn’t enough lithium, copper and silicon on the planet to replace every ICE car and logistics vehicle. Even for Petrol hybrid electric vehicles. There will be double the amount of diesel produced in the hydrocarbon refining process. The EV revolution can get fucked. It will go the same way as the diesel revolution.

2 evs are not more reliable or simpler or more economical, the reason they are more economical is again simple, they are meant to work 8-10 yers then total loss as engine or batery swap is uneconomical, you might get happy in those years but when is end of life cycle you lose full value
3 evs are about population control and surveilance, funny story had to drop a customers tesla do dealrship and could not get it off from trailer as when you get in 1 mile range of dealersip diffrent codes are generated and you just stand there like an idiot with full acces codes provided from owner ( press of a button you walk baby no car for you)
4 evs don't work in real world, are nice for school runs or runs to tesco but there are people who travel 150 miles to work in northern countryes and none have ev as range in frezeing tem or extrem hot is halfd
5 evs are not for evryone, is going to be for select few and end of story
