General Motors just announced that they will not make internal combustion engines for consumer vehicles beyond 2035 -- they're going all electric. Electric cars have been around for a century, but were cost prohibitive until this past decade. And today we're seeing them enter more of the mainstream, with some countries Northern European countries approaching or passing 50% of new vehicles sold. But without those government subsidies, it still seems that you still either have to pay more or sacrifice functionality for the money. 

In this episode we want to discuss when we think the tipping point that, all up, it will just be the option that makes the most economic sense for people. We'll also dig into  the factors that contribute to the tipping point.
