Auto executives are less confident in EV adoption than they were a year ago

Well if you're sitting on a hundred billion dollars of factories to produce gas cars and it will cost you a hundred billion dollars to convert to electric cars then I guess you'd be "less confident" in EV adoption. Admitting that electric cars are the future would undercut your current market. Volkswagon fired their CEO for saying exactly that.

It's the same argument the horse industry said about cars.

Meanwhile California is seeing huge percentage increases in new EV car registrations. Electric car batteries last 1 million miles. I've never had a gas car live anywhere near that long. Electric cars have fewer parts and are cheaper to build. There are over a dozen battery factories being started in the U.S. this year. Tesla gives free upgrades over the air overnight, not next year. Cars can be charged at home.

My tools are all electric. My riding lawn mower is electric. My next car will be electric. I live in "Pickup Truck, Pennsylvania" and I see a lot of Teslas.

"Confidence" is not facts.
