The question is no longer if electric vehicles will happen, or even when they’ll happen, but how. Veteran automotive reporter Mike Colias takes you inside the transformation in this thoroughly reported profile of the hard pivot in the car business, a $2 trillion industry undergoing the biggest change in its 120-year history—a change that is already sending ripples across the entire global economy.
Colias documents the inevitable shift from pistons to electrons from every angle, taking you inside the boardrooms where executives battle over their EV strategies to take on Tesla and, more recently, emerging Chinese powerhouses such as BYD. He brings you to family-run car dealerships deciding if they’ll sell EVs—or sell their businesses. He follows entrepreneurs along lonely stretches of road that will soon need charging stations. He talks to power-train engineers whose skills were once the beating heart of the automotive industry but who now find themselves being replaced by coders.
Inevitable is a deeply enjoyable and smart book that uses masterful storytelling to capture the expanse and dynamism of the transition to electric vehicles in profound detail, bringing to life its seismic effects on everything and everyone.

Nope, not at all inevitable.

My money is still on some kind of hydrogen storage system, barring viable carbon batteries. In related news: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/13/ev-euphoria-is-dead-automakers-trumpet-consumer-choice-in-us.html

OK.
Where is all the (green?) lithium for batteries coming from?
Where is all the copper (green mining) for charging infrastructure, nationwide charging systems coming from?
Where is all the green energy to provide the electricity to power these cars coming from?
Just plug it into the wall right?

@Postlethwaite: wow, you saw the problems that none of the billion dollar companies or dozens of governments noticed.

Another issue is our electrical grid. It’s no where near being capable of proving the power needed for even a 3rd of vehicles being electric. Charging an electric vehicle thats to be used at the same level an average vehicle is used at, would likely take the same amount of power the rest of the household uses.
Overnight charging would be the norm, and now you’d have essentially a 24 hour peak demand system. We’d have to build more coal or natural gas power-plants, effectively double the transmission infrastructure, etc.
lets not forget how rare lithium is.
Hydrogen isn’t going to take, for the same reason you don’t see propane powered vehicles anymore. There much more dangerous, and don’t work well in cold climates.
