The fact that most of the car ads I see these days are for electric vehicles - especially trucks - makes me happy

Even LEGO sets are getting EVSE. Octan has diversified into electric with the OctanE brand.

Assuming you’re in the US, though it applies elsewhere, but an energy/transportation revolution would be much nicer. I don’t see much of a point with electric vehicles if that renewable energy is going into businesses and homes anyways - there is no surplus of renewables that electric vehicles can use and claim “net 0.” Most of our electricity is from fossil fuels and yeah renewables reduce that - nice! For now, nuclear is unfortunately too close to home for most people and we are going to struggle more with ineffective alternatives. I think electric vehicles are nice, but they represent a technological feat, not a social one. Technology is much easier to engineer and is thus much less impressive or impactful than a social feat like pushing for nuclear or geothermal.

There was a company called Wiferion that was bringing this exact product to market. They were bought by Tesla though and nothing has since come out.
There is another company called Witricity that claims to have a product ready in 2025.

Knowing Tesla they'll just slap some sort of subscription fee on it

But still, very cool

I'm not in the US

isn't the main holdup on renewables in the states still coal/oil lobbyists and nimbys?

selling more cars
Right direction. See, this is why we are doomed.

I’m in Canada and most ads are still ICE vehicles. I don’t think I’ve seen an EV ad.
