Early predictions of how popular the electric car would
become — including one made in 1971 that said by 1985 there would be 5 million
electric cars in operation — did not come true, but could the pandemic
make this year a turning point for electric and hybrid vehicles? Some think so.
The partial lockdown in the first half of the year
led to a reduction in overall travel as many cars sat unused for weeks at a
time, while some were leery to use public transportation and that, combined
with more economical prices, may be the boost that many need to switch to an
electric or hybrid vehicle.
