You certainly know about the industry and I definitely don't but if solar and storage become cheap, the timeline to generating and sending charge to EVs is just the time it takes to receive delivery of solar array and battery storage. Probably a few shipping containers. No grid required. Getting licensed etc is another story. A specialized company may be able to do it quickly though.

EVs are the future of all transport it's just a matter of when. Yes, we still need oil for all sorts of things but your insinuation that oil used to scale EV production is more than taking millions of ICE vehicles off the road is silly. Mining enough lithium is a good question though. It takes decades to go from lithium exploration to an actually producing mine. Sodium-ion uses no lithium. Ships will have to use oil still, you're right. Unless they can use nuclear like US nuclear subs have for 50 years.

It's not nonsense, it's you who aren't getting it buddy. If something costs a dollar at Target but Walmart sells it for 10 cents, it is, in fact, 10 times cheaper. See, 10 times 10 = 100. You understand percentages but not multiplication?

Just the fact that you enjoy arguing this point tells me you have a Walmart personality.
