From the article:
* 40 million BEVs and PHEVs in 2024
* 275 million expected in 2030

For reference, there were 278 million registered vehicles (auto and commercial) in the US in 2022.

Shell’s projection would require 100% change-out of all vehicles in the USA in the next six years and 100% adoption of EVs in six years.

Yes. Ethanol now was added to Marathon, my old favorite. Difficult to stay away from ethanol.

Shell has to be the target like Bud Light and Disney.

Otherwise it emboldens them.

They keep that up, and they’ll become a (wait for it) “A Shell of their Former Selves”. Badda-bing, badda-boom.

Abandon your car for 2 hours while charging in a USA that’s fast morphing into 3rd world crime? I don’t think so...

I guess the top brass at Shell didn’t hear the comments a few days ago by the president of the world’s largest oil company Aramco.

OK, that doesn’t change the stupidity of betting on EV. Perhaps you did not mean to respond to my comment?

They are playing the game of American fascism.

Do what the American fascist party wants so you can continue to exist. If you don’t do what the American fascist party wants, they will put you out of business here. It’s the 21st century American form of government.

No, you were just a random choice, the point is Shell is no longer the American Shell Oil but is now with Euro mamagement, possibly virtue-signaling greenies.

In other news—all fifty states announced plans to build new power plants to handle the extra power load required for electric vehicles.

Would you believe forty nine states?

Forty five states?

Forty states?

Ten states?

One state?
