It seems to me that the transition is inevitable. Slowly but surely electric cars are becoming cheaper and more capable. It is really hard to imagine that they will not soon be cheaper than ICE cars.
But they just seem so much more convenient and nicer to be around that diesel and petrol cars. No more breathing in exhaust fumes! No more petrol stations! Less servicing!
For a site that supposedly caters to forward thinking technologists, there sure are a lot of people refusing to see the obvious conclusion to the current trend.
