But everything needs oil to get where it’s going globally. You can drive the EV to the stalled factory assembly line, then drive over to the the empty store, and then sit at home in a cold house with the lights on, but an empty pantry.. We need more that doesn’t use oil because the supply chain, not consumer is choked.
