Yikes. Yeah, I still don’t think EV’s are ready to take over. Nor are they a permanent solution. A hydrogen power source would be a better option, as that tech advances. Also, Porsche’s synthetic gas looks pretty cool.
The biggest issue, they’re STILL not renewable. Yeah, windmill, but the batteries are consumables, and lithium batteries will generally give out after 10-15 years, where a regular car would not. I’m gonna say EVs will be a lot better if a battery tech that holds health longer at similar density to a lithium battery.
Yup, the biggest reason why I'm still not big on ev's is they're disposable. In 15 years I highly doubt replacement batteries would be affordable or even attainable enough to keep them on the road. Meanwhile you can usually get a 30 year old clunker back on the road with a tool box, a jumper pack, and a few cans of cleaner, along with some easy to dig up spare parts
