Many look and judge the EVs with technology that exists today and that's a really narrow way of looking at the future. Since clearly there is a need for larger capacity, faster charging battery technology, it will be invented. The larger the demand the sooner it will happen.

Compression technology and anything that increases the ICE's fuel efficiency is nothing more than the death roll of the ICE.

Yep, and they are going to do an electric model with a small rotary engine range extender. Very cool tech.

No sheep there. Seems Hungary is revolting as well. Maybe people are getting fed up with self serving politicians.

As for the carbon tax, how does a "tax" prevent anything other than lining the pockets of some fat cat politician.

The Hydrogen Fuel cell will replace the pure battery EV, this is the future for vehicles.

I believe china (the worlds largest population and polluter) needs to clean up their act big time!
