    It’ll be a long long time before every vehicle is fully electric, and even then I think it won’t be possible to go 100% as ICE will still be required for certain situations… but for the majority of regular users then sooner the better but unfortunately these companies are still playing with words. By saying “electrified” and “mild hybrid” they mean these vehicles will still use an ICE but probably a 48v system so it can pull away from stationary on electric and go straight into 2nd or 3rd gear.

    I know 2040 sounds like a long time away but it’s closer than 2000 is and that doesn’t seem such a long time ago… well to me anyway ?
