I will not be buying EV's because my government keeps pushing me towards one, anything they try to push you toward? Stay well back as it is never in your favor.
THEY control the power distribution, so if they say no power and no driving for you today, it's done, if you want total control over a population you start with restricting their ability to travel. My country is run by what are in essence communists, they love the totalitarian control shit.
Remember the petrol and diesel distribution is still privatized and in an emergency you will still be able to get fuel if you get creative enough, even if you have to do it at gunpoint, the power grid? Not so much, one switch? Boom, stone age, total control, the last thing you want those bastards lefties in power to have.
