Not so sure that is correct. A fully electric vehicle is just not going to happen without a fundamental shift in battery tech, sure, but tech always changes as it matures. Computers used to be analog devices and certainly bear almost no resemblance of what they are today but the tech still restructured the entire world.These things are not a long term answer, given their waste, material needs and usage limitations. The Dems have been FAR too quick to jump in behind this stuff and create lofty expectations. There are few specific long term plans on the progress of clean energy, but plenty of long term demands.
Just another example of an issue not being addressed properly because it has become a binary, tribal political football. Either/or, us vs. them, all or nothing. We can't work together to improve ANYTHING because we have allowed that ability to waste away due to non-use.
You can't effectively address issues with binary thinking.
The real future of electric cars IMHO is in hybrids (unless battery tech changes as I said) as those offer the claimed benefits of electric vehicles without any of the downsides.
As it stands now, EV are more expensive in every single way than a ICE vehicle. They are a novelty more than anything else.
