Just saying—things can change a lot in another fourteen years. Driving an ICE might seem antiquated. Also, the landscape of infrastructure will likely change a lot. More parking spaces will have chargers making charging at work or while shopping easier. New homes will likely include 240 outlets in garages or built in chargers, along with solar or maybe a battery home charger.

And the world might run out of easily available rare earth metals to build all the battery packs required.

Two of the largest, most populous states in this country can hardly keep the lights on when the wind blows too hard or it gets a little cold. The infrastructure track record in this country is piss poor and I don't see a miraculous change coming in the next 10-15 years.
If anything, I expect a recession and further stagnation ahead. Have you priced a sheet of plywood or roll of romex wire lately ? A lot of businesses shuttered in the last year and many are still on the ropes due to the coof. Commercial real estate is a ticking timebomb because of WFH and the first shoe hasn't even begun to drop.
The vast majority of your posts are out of touch fantasy "what if" dreaming and speculation.
