IMO the current stumbling blocks are the lack of charging infrastructure, the charging time, and battery capacity (in that order).

yep, and how many years are they going to take before getting a practical battery?

There is a battery chemistry (LiFePO4 aka LFP) proven (tested in 2013) to retain at least 80% of its capacity up through 5,000 deep discharge and fast charging (80% of full charge within 15min) cycles.

How many miles would a typical EV go on 5,000 full battery discharge/recharge cycles compared to the typical lifespan of any vehicle?

How many ICE owners use more than 80% of the tank capacity before refilling?

Btw Tesla is now using LFP in standard range model 3s.
