Survey about EV ownership

Humm...so according to this survey , 43% for no ability to charge at home in Japan implies why Toyota is pushing hard for Hybrid and FCEV and shy on pushing for PHEV and BEV

 

it's slowly changing. my 74 year old brother has been a gear head all his life, starting out in his teens buying and selling classic corvettes and chevelles with a friend.
he'd been into mercedes roadsters more recently, doesn't believe in climate change, renewable energy, peak oil and is a fairly staunch republican.
we've had many discussions about these things since i bought my first prius 20 years ago.
of course he laughed at me and could never understand.
last summer i told him i test drove a model 3 and bought a bolt, he didn't sy much, but suddenly this spring he tells me he leased a model y. now he's raving about the tesla experience, autopilot, and says he'll never go back to gas.
it only took 20 years, so there's hope for everyone!

 

I don't believe in "Peak Oil" either, now that the known fossil fuel reserves exceed the atmosphere's capacity to absorb CO2 without very severe impact on human civilization, several times over.

If the original Peak Oil predictions were even remotely close to reality, then Climate Change would have been limited to levels that we would now find quite reasonable. But they didn't account for the creativity and resourcefulness of fossil fuel scientists and engineers responding to the potential of harvesting a few $Trillion more in revenue.
