another side to this 이면에는
And I have a true confession - I bought one this year.
Hey, what'd you get? A zippy little Chevy Bolt.
I bought it really for climate reasons.
What do you think of the Bolt?
This really was an idea that was laughed at a few years ago.
And now it's increasingly a mainstream proposal to say that we could switch over completely.
We're definitely not on track for a wholesale conversion of our fleet anytime soon.
We're seeing different approaches in different parts of the world, whether it's China, Europe or the U.S. But big picture, it's carrots and it's sticks, right?
Here in the U.S., there's an executive order on the federal level that would phase out gas-powered vehicles within the federal government.
And kind of remarkably, where this has passed, it hasn't even been particularly controversial.
It seems way off in the future?
Electric vehicles are a tiny slice of the market.
And if that changes, we would need huge changes to a bunch of other things, including our electric grid to support a massive charging infrastructure.
So big, big changes ahead, you know, if this works out.
