These politicians who are pushing the progressive narrative have blinders on. First will Manufacturers actually have vehicles ready in the numbers envisioned and secondly most scientific estimates describe lithium as a finite resource, there is enough on earth for all of us to get one electric car once in our life time.  There is a legitimate theory that oil is actually a renewable resource given enough time so maybe when the lithium is gone oil will be back in vougue. 

As for our old cars, we already see the direct Chevy small block bolt in electric motor being offered and we all know torque is King.
