There are many supply chain and infrastructure issues that need to be worked out and this is a chicken/egg relationship between these issues and EV acceptance.? Heck, in the early days of gas-powered cars drivers had to stop at the local dry-goods store and buy "cleaning solvent" to power their cars.<br></div><div dir="ltr">EV's have many fewer moving parts and hence are more reliable and, except for the battery, are less expensive to build.? And battery technology is evolving as we speak.<br></div><div dir="ltr">But back to the topic at hand.? This new "Triumph" resembles the TR3 in the same manner that a Picasso painting resembles reality. Yeah, some of the elements are there but they are not coherent.? The styling does not inspire me, but that is just my opinion, for what it's worth.<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Dave<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"></div></div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
