I was out of BMWs when they sissified their cars by largely eliminating manual transmissions. Fortunately, they no longer call themselves "the ultimate driving machine", because they're just another boulevardier for people who would be better off with a Honda Accord. As to EV's taking over by 2030; it's impossible until sometime in 2050, provided the electric companies double capacity, double transmission capacity and car makers figure out another source for the raw materials to build them apart from China and most importantly the price of these cars needs to drop by almost 50% in today's dollars.

@ConnectingODots It will take 10-20 years to do all of this, even if we started today. Building infrastructure of this kind will cost trillions of dollars, and will ironically use a lot of the raw materials that would otherwise go to electric cars. And we haven't even thought about it yet except in an abstract way. Who will pay for that? And how much will it raise electric rates? None of this comes free.
