In this episode, Sohail Hasnie shares a powerful monologue unpacking why internal combustion engine vehicles are on the brink of obsolescence — and why electric vehicles (EVs) are the smarter choice today and into the future. Drawing comparisons to outdated technologies like film cameras and Blackberries, Sohail explores the economic, technological, and policy shifts that are transforming the transport and energy sectors.

He discusses how falling battery costs, bidirectional charging, and rising fuel prices are making EVs cheaper to operate — and soon, cheaper to own. He also warns of the risk of stranded assets for those buying new petrol vehicles today, and outlines how EVs could become income-generating and home energy assets.

This solo episode is a compelling call to action for consumers, policymakers, and industry leaders navigating the energy transition.
