Charging Returns
Electric and autonomous vehicles capture the imagination and the headlines. Like many earlier technologies, such as the internal combustion engine and commercial aircraft, Electric Vehicles (EVs) promise to change the course of human history. But it is easy to mistake excitement about the technology for a free ride to investing success. History shows that new technology, even technology that has changed the world, has not necessarily made for good returns.

I think the major change that the EV revolution and other associated disruption technologies – viz automated vehicles and car sharing – is geographic it will change the way cities function and it will mean they no longer need to be nodes within the economy.

When you say “gas and diesel” are you using the term “gas” to mean petrol (like in America) or they specifically targetting CNG and LPG vehicles over petrol models? If the latter is true…..why?
