I wouldn't say that! After the 70's oil crisis:
This shift wasn’t just about making cars that used less gas. It was the beginning of a revolution in how we think about transportation. Car companies started experimenting with aerodynamic shapes, lighter materials, and alternative power sources. The 1970s oil crisis didn’t just lead to temporary changes – it started a long journey toward the electric vehicles we see today.
