EV car sales kaput. Gas prices are reaching historic lows
EV cars are simply not selling, it's basically reaching 'accounting error' status. This is after years
of massive government money/time spent on 'electrifying' the grid.

As of right now, the only reason why gas prices are 'spiking' somewhat is because OPEC is cutting production,
however give U.S/other countries time to increase output, and you'll see gas prices going down
a steady decline.
Capitalism 101.
Sidenote: Drones on the other hand are taking off (no pun) in a big way, human transportation
via drone is already on the table: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbeoTnuo2-U
Summary: Flight time/distance is completely different than a car (which needs to navigate cities),
thus electric drones/human flight could be a major game changer this decade/next.
EV cars? Another 10-20 years minimum before automated driving comes in...and even then gasoline
will still be around for many years longer.
Roads are just completely different than open airspace.
Gas cars are a buy, EV cars are for futurists at best.
