Tesla already has the upper hand with it's Giga-factory, followed by Samsung's R&D battery department.
My point is anyone who thinks E.V's will not replace gas powered vehicles is an idiot.
Gas powered cars will be obsolete in 20 years.

Another article from 2018

Quote:
About 20 percent of Americans say they're likely to buy an electric car in the future, a new AAA survey shows, more than in any previous survey and up from 15 percent in 2017.
Greg Brannon, director of automotive engineering and industry relations for the American Automobile Association (AAA), attributes some of that increase to the sheer number of new EVs on the market.

So still 80% are saying they don't want an electric car. Like I said till my generation is dead in 40-50 years you won't have the demand to stop building gas engines.
If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd have 10 cars custom-built and every one of them would have LS v8s or a hellcat motor. I'd have a golf cart with a 1100CC motor. You couldn't pay me to drive an EV.
