I’m not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.

My wife’s EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I’ve driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we’ll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.

What do y’all think?

    The thing is, nothing gets done unless the government regulates it. The industry would just keep pumping out ICE vehicles. The only reason we have EVs at all is because most car companies saw the writing on the wall about the very necessary phaseout of ICE and knew this would be legislated sooner or later. I fully expect EVs will have either great range or super fast charging by 2035 because the market will be there to support it. (Regulating is solves the chicken and the egg problem - it guarantees demand so it de-risks investing in EV tech for the entire supply chain.)
