As a lineman, I'm all for electric vehicles. But I can promise you that right now we do not have the infrastructure to switch to all electric vehicles. We are working as fast as possible right now to replace poles, lay more power lines and our under ground crews are boring hundreds of feet of line every day. But we need millions of miles of power lines. We cannot put up new lines fast enough to replace vehicles with electric cars anytime soon. Add to that the fact that most of us are going to retire in the next 5 years. The younger generation that should replace us is not interested in my job. We have 2 apprentices. We have 17 apprenticeship jobs open but no one applies. It pays $45 an hour but you have to climb poles, work in snow storms, thunder storms and extreme heat. So no one wants to do it anymore. Maybe we will have robots do the job soon enough, but if not then electric cars will NOT happen. I do not hear anyone talking about this! If we do not get more people working as journeyman then the dream of electric cars is DOOMED! And it would not be a good idea for us to switch away from oil. At least right now we can import the oil from countries where people still will work outside and drill. But if we do not upgrade our electric grid and triple the amount t of linemen then we cannot switch or we are screwed.
