Sometime (soon) there wont be a choice. I think that's what he is getting at.
If the manufacturers can build electric vehicles and price them the same as gas powered vehicles then I would have no problem buying one. For me the problem always been there is a price premium on electric vehicles and even on hybrid vehicles. I'm all for saving money at the gas pump.
He probably won’t live that long,
only place where that might happen in any timeframe is Southern California and it’s not hard to move
