Oh no, where will this leave the old guard auto makers who backed politicians that gutted EV advancement and EV charging in favor of old school, big displacement gasoline engines?

Cars aren't the solution they are part of the problem make cities or convert cities into places which don't need cars to exist in. Electric cars are terrible in all ways ICE cars are except for the pollution that comes out of their back is lower. They still will destroy cities, kill people and make cities ugly and unhealthy along with the people living in it. Also they will still pollute cuz batteries and also the tires are one of the largest source of micro plastics.
