U.S. Electric Car Sales Climb Sharply Despite Shortages

Great quote from the thread piece:

> Sales in the United States will gain momentum as battery-powered cars become more commonplace, said Felipe Smolka, who follows the electric vehicle market for the consulting firm EY. People will become reluctant to buy cars powered by fossil fuels, he said, out of fear they could become obsolete and lose their resale value. Carmakers have largely stopped investing in internal combustion engine technology.

> “The energy behind this transition is already at a point where is there no return,” Mr. Smolka said.
