What?  Lamborghini?  Huh?  The push toward electric is baffling to me as electric is not as green as those with green megaphones would have us believe.  I persist that hydrogen will eventually win the day.  Electric will run its course and when we run out of the needed materials that power EVs, then begins the transition to hydrogen power.  Who knows though.  That is my projection.  I could be 100 percent wrong if they make a breakthrough in charging technology and so on.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

And - the other question (the elephant in the room?) remains - how is enough green/renewable/clean power going to be generated to supply ALL transportation (yeah, what about all of those 18-wheelers carrying everything), ALL heating/cooling, ALL manufacturing, etc, etc????? We'll leave the ships, planes, and trains out of it for now.

Precisely.
