    Wrong, this is the moment that will create a permanent market for EVs forever, and eventually replace internal combustion vehicles altogether.

    Older people have known for a long time that you can never trust oil prices to stay stable, ANYTHING can drive them up, even just a regular holiday weekend. This is a wake up call to everyone else. This happens regularly, and if we recover from this one, it will just happen again in a few years, and a few years after that. It NEVER goes down, just up.

    Gas prices are now rising to a point where EVs really make sense, and are going to offer peace of mind going forward.

      But then what happens when electricity is captured by barrons similar to oil? Do we move onto solar-powered or wind-powered car batteries? Hydrogen? Cause those are the only natural fuel resources that have yet to be captured because, y’know, they’re natural. Shillionaire oil tycoons can’t monopolize the wind, the sun, or hydrogen.

      Unless, that is, they continue to fuck up the planet to the point where those resources become scarce.

        I can put solar panels on my roof to charge my car, and run my house. How is some Sociopathic Oligarch going to interfere with that?
