we're having a coffee break in the office(staff with different nationality) when someone asked what's the future of cars using gas. One of the them- a car & F1 enthusiast "predicted" & say:
"soon our parking space will be planted with outlets on every corners for charging vehicles. worse if they (the provincial govt) creates a law that would say if you have more than one car in a household- one should be electric or hybrid. As long as they know how to make/create laws on getting more money from the people's pocket- it will come and it will happen.. same thing what they did with the winter-tire law & "0" (zero)-tolerance on teen drivers caught under DUI"..
acquiring vehicles here is easy. cars are considered to be necessity. competition is wide open with lot of brands to choose, financing scheme are "light" on pocket and 1 brand has warranty period up to 15 years ... (their 15-yr tv ad made me laugh the first time)..

I was thinking back home. I think our country is far behind- not just with our military- even our public transport that sucks and road infrastructures are too bad and ugly. in short, NOT READY for it.
