    Long story short the US oil production has probably peaked or will peak soon. Soon, it’ll be all down hill. As long as e-car companies don’t screw it up for themselves. Buy LFP batteries: no fires, quintuple the battery lifetime. I’m eyeballing the future Bolt with LFP. It’d be cool if LTO batteries make any advancements, though, 50yr daily driving as it is.

      Long story short the US oil production has probably peaked or will peak soon.

      The first prediction of US peak production was in the 1960s. In 2023 the US will produce more oil than in any other time in US history, and new technology has unlocked insane amounts of oil

      Only promote peak oil if you enjoy being wrong a lot.

        The new tech like fracking is more expensive, more overhead cost - oil will never be as cheap and plentiful again for the US. Why else did Biden open up the dreaded Willow Project?

      LFP batteries are worse in the cold though, so just be cautious if you are somewhere that gets very cold. I am annoyed by the winter performance of mine.
