I would like to see a quick EV adoption, but I'm a bit skeptical it will be quick. I guess it depends mainly on who drags their feet and who doesn't, and the reasons behind those things.

One thing that's kind of good for EV's, at least I think, is the chip shortage. With lower vehicle sales it makes sense for car companies to sell the bigger, more luxurious, more expensive models. And that fits in with EV's right now since it's kind of hard to make a $15,000 economy EV that would sell well.

But who knows. EV's aren't superior in everything just yet. Infrastructure is a big one. I tried an EV once and know how frustrating it can be not being able to travel in certain directions due to complete lack of places to charge from.
