Electric Cars. Be Careful What You Wish For In the beginning, |, like many others people | know, got very excited at the prospect of electric cars. And why not? They were the next big thing. A chance for the world to cut way down on carbon pollution. A quieter drive and the feeling that you were really doing your bit for the environment by owning one. Then, bit by bit, the reality of this innovation started to set it. People started looking at the horrendous cost, water usage and environmental damage caused by the mining and processing of the lithium needed to make the batteries for these cars. Other people started looking at the availability of charging stations and the amount of time it would take out of your day to charge your car. Still other people started looking down the road at what happens to the lithium batteries when they need to be replaced and how much will it cost to actually replace them. But even with all those questions, the world still continued to be excited about the possibilities. So excited that countries started setting deadlines for the end of gasoline powered vehicles. At some point, while all this was going on, | started to wonder if this whole thing wasn't just some crazy capitalist scheme to create a profitable new industry and aftermarket. And if you're wondering the same thing, don't think you're all alone. The Ideas Powering Our Sustainable Future Copyright 2022, Jim Murray, MurMarketing
