I don't think EVs are the final solution...its a step to the next thing...whatever that turns out to be. Current battery tech is too limiting. There's not enough grid power to take everything electric, here in California building new power stations is almost impossible. batteries, solar panels, etc use significant amounts of high quality rare earth elements, which there isn't a lot of, relatively speaking. Battery tech needs to leap forward in terms of capacity. They need to figure out the logistics of disposing of mass quantities of spent batteries, and a number of other things....hopefully before they need to, but knowing the government that will be the next crisis because they sat on there hands instead of getting in front of the ball. today its really hard to beat the energy of what you get out of a gallon of gas or diesel, but we'll get there someday.
quite possibly I'm wrong and they'll make a major breakthrough with batteries and EVs are it, but today I don't see EVs being it.
We need to do something. We'll see what they come up with.
