Reducing gasoline and diesel consumption to zero reduces oil consumption by 50%. So less profit for Russian and Middle East Terrorists. Using electric power for light vehicles and trucks save 70% of fuel costs so, in the U.S. about $540 billion saved every year.

No more wars over Middle East oil sounds good to me.

As to solar and wind reducing cost by 90% in 13 years nets $0.01 / kWh that’s today. Cost and life continue to improve. Utilities will invest in the lowest cost production and that is not coal or natural gas electric power production.
