I rather hope that you stay in the EU. I think it would be better in promoting electrification. Don't know enough about anything else tho.
Probably better to keep non-EV politics out of the forum - but our vote on remaining or leaving the EU is obviously a black/white decision. Most people are however very marginally above or below a middle shade of gray, like me.
It's actually the most democratic moment in my lifetime, as you aren't voting for some clown in a sharp suit to tell you what's good for you, but rather a constitutional change based on what your ideals of democracy, sovereignty and law-making are.
Its not going to be the end of the world either way - but it is going to divide the country in half - but it already was anyway.
The campaign on both sides has been horrible - mainly personal, immigration biased, and completely lacking in any requisite data and statistics... funny for politicians to do that.
There is also a very good debate that is titled something like 'size of the economy does not correlate well at all to the individuals quality of life'.
If we do leave, we will undoubtedly drop from our current ranking of 5th largest global economy - a statistic that I still find amazing in 2016. Also, apparently, due to our fairly high personal taxes (the UK is of course a corporate tax haven, but very much not a personal one), we are financially worse off by income per capita than all US states except Alabama - which again is a truly amazing stat - but then of course these are averages based on established land borders.
When you look at a politician like Boris Johnson, one has to grin at the hilarity of the state we are in, but then you've got a Donald.
