I agree with Leno EV will take over. Yes getting the infrastructure in place will take time. Teaching the public a new way of life will also take time but the internal combustion engine is a dinosaur. Too many parts.
Lots of heat loss, just too inefficient.
Technology has caught up to the internal combustion engine, a better mouse trap is here. The heavy lifting for the most part has been done. Now its a matter of logistics and attitude.
"Too many parts"!!
Have you ever seriously looked at the electronics necessary to keep an EV running? It's not like there's just a battery and a motor.
It should have been clarified to "moving parts" as most likely to break and need regular maintenance.
At least listen to actual owners whose cost of maintenance for 3 years are washer fluids.
Yes maybe I should have clarified and said moving parts.
An electric motor is just a much simpler contraption vs. internal combustion.
We have battery powered lawn mowers now. No strings to pull , oil to change etc. The same simplicity applies to cars as well.
It will start with commuter vehicles. The range will initially be limited. But most households will benefit from an EV. Sorry but technology happens,
Whoever imagined tube TV's would go away. Landline telephones becoming obsolete.
This revolution will not happen overnight , But we will likely see it in our lifetime.
