Yes, but it will never happen because of the tax dollars and fuel consumption. If we don’t buy enough fuel the system can’t pay for itself. Same with hybrids. If we, the consumer, chose those, neither oil nor lithium would be sold in large enough quantities.
With EVs they’ll be able to tax mileage. They’ll also be able to curtail travel. Imagine the next pandemic only this time, we’re mostly in EVs. The car computer shuts down. Now you’re stuck. A dystopian thought? Maybe, but a stuck population is a controlled population. Like the serfs in Russia of old.
