It won’t just be electric cars, it’ll be all new model cars from manufacturing companies. At least until ICE is phased out.

    More like, until the Chinese weasel their way into the US market with cheaper-than-used cars to undercut the legacy auto makers. 10 years or so, it'll happen. And the big 3 will be begging for bailouts again. That is unless they smarten up and remember what made Ford what it is today.

    I don't see that happening. The US puts large tariffs on imported cars to stifle competition. That's why if you look at Japanese cars in Japan or German cars in Germany they're often much cheaper and more powerful than their American counterparts.

    They're already doing that in some parts of the world. Then when they get sizeable market share, they emulated what the previous car makers do. It's just not an improvement. It's more of the same, only the manufacturer is different.

    This is why I keep an oldish diesel car with no extra electronic features in my garage. No weird features, and can still run even without a battery.

    Although, I think the reason I kept the car is because of my paranoia of an EMP event frying electronics.
