The industry is going through this kind of sucket and sea process of feeling their way towards what works, while at the same time trying to ramput very quickly. I kind of weres where's the right and the right amount of interstructure. You don't wn to get too far ahead of the curv but you definly don't want to fool behind either.
In the tech world, there’s a common belief that once a new device hits 5% market penetration, it rapidly goes from a niche to mass adoption. According to Bloomberg, the US has just passed that critical 5% tipping point for new EV purchases. Norway, an oil-rich country, was first to hit that 5% mark in 2013 and today boasts a stunning 86% of new cars being fully electric. Now California is driving the US along a similar road away from gasoline and diesel by passing a new law that will only allow emission free vehicles to be sold by 2035. Even with that California law, how confident can we be that all new American cars will be running clean? What does the 5% tipping point mean for other clean tech adoption?
