I assume it will take a couple of decades where we will see Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations across many petrol bunks, highway hotels, truck lay bays and may be few better technologies for smoother commuting of EVs, esp long distance travel.
What if ... ... the Executive help the automotive industry to fast track this possibility (even if there is disproportion initially, with the EV sales) so that we can lure the #ecoconscious public to make that switch from conventional vehicles a decade earlier than expected!
