Interesting comments but I've no doubt that EVs will take over, not because private buyers want them particularly but government, national and local insist on nothing else and are our masters and will alter the rules to ensure that we comply. Look at London and Khan issuing penalties continually on his Ulez binge which presumably has made TFL financially sound. Sadly, diesels and petrols are soon to finish as new vehicles and will be around for some years but demand will drop as fuel stations switch to electric only and when owners find, as early ev owners did and sometimes still do, that they can't make a journey without being certain of completing it, there'll be no fuel available reliably and no demand for the vehicles.
The milk floats, the first ev's, I suppose, which replaced the milkman and his horse and cart have surely been defunct for years. I've not seen one in London for well over 20. Are they really still about with their warm milk on a summer's day, anywhere?
EVs will continue to grow. Buses. Coaches, trucks and cars and they all need copper and ground level parking. The multi storey car parks will have collapsed under the weight. Buy land. It's in huge demand.
