So much stuff these days is made of tissue paper and/or chocolate. You only have to go to a car breakers to see how much modern stuff is being scrapped because of expensive electrical faults and that will be even worse when the drive train is also electric.

I know we are not going to stop this electric revolution but hopefully I will be long gone when it is the only way we can legally travel.

Hopefully some common sense comes into play and Hydrogen is another option.
But---Will the future EV's need to be complex ??

I agree they will probably made out of rubbish but maybe not get scrapped because of what must end up as simpler electrics. The drive train will very simple too.

HYDROGEN.--Have you ever looked up the cost of production ???--
