    I guess we’re going to walk, I’m not seeing any progress being made or announced to provide support/alternatives for a switch.

      • more walking wouldn’t be bad for most of us
      • bans are usually on new sales only, so used cars will still be available for a decade or two
      • hopefully the impending deadline and the ban will motivate progress - and more urgently as we get closer

      Even in the US where most states are not participating, can legacy manufacturers really afford to give up states with like 1/3 the population?

      That would be like giving up non-trucks to European, Japanese and Korean manufacturers, or giving up EVs to startups and to Chinese manufacturers…… shit
