    Increasingly common in countries other than the USA.

    For example Australia has a huge uptake in home rooftop solar and now home batteries due to gov subsidies, and thanks to the USA fucking with the Iran and consequently severly affecting our fuel supply, EV sales are now taking off.

      People in the U.S. are often short-sighted. Buying a car is a long-term decision, but people buy big inefficient vehicles when gas is cheap and then throw a fit when gas gets expensive. It would make more sense to just buy an efficient vehicle even when fuel is cheap, but that would make too much sense.
