Three phases of Social engineering are in play now. current, near future and end game.
Current:
Trucks are being marketed to men as a replacement for cars.
Cross overs are being marketed to Women to replace the van, (the station wagon) and the SUV.
Near Future:
Everything else will be electric. then we will figure out what the industry knows, that the grid and infrastructure will not support charging stations in every house
End Game:
Then ownership of any automobile will be discouraged through regulation and cost.
There you go. Transportation reduced to ride sharing or a form of taxi. Mass transit will be pushed to break through within the culture.
My prediction: In an not too all distant future an internal combustion engine will be as vilified as an AR-15 is today.
