#1 Biden has got to get the gasoline prices up to $10-$12 dollars per gallon for EV's to really take off. A big Gulf war blow up could bring that about.

#2 The similar timelines amongst various states and the locations of those states are telling, NE, to the Carolinas, West Coast, land Border states with Mexcio, perhaps this indicates the demographic shift of the 10 million illegals and flyover country has a greater meaning. the Timelines also denote a plan. Pet theory is China lost the boat on fossil fuels, whatever electric will become, the cheapest tech will rain for the next 100 years+ as countries "develop". This is a dupe to allow China time to destabilize and then acquire the controlling interest in petroleum, over the next 10 to 20 years, when EV stops being subsidized and falls apart. It will e theirs.

#5 Just a coincidence?
"MEXICO CITY, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD (002594.SZ), opens new tab is looking for a location in Mexico to set up a factory aimed at boosting the company's share of the local market, BYD Americas CEO Stella Li told Reuters on Wednesday.
The company expects to choose a location for the plant, which is set to have a production capacity of 150,000 cars annually, by the year's end, Li said.
BYD outpaced former market leader Tesla in EV sales globally in the fourth quarter of 2023, and auto industry officials say its push into Mexico foreshadows a competitive threat the Shenzhen-based automaker and others from China may pose to companies already operating in the U.S. market.
