Battery Technology is certainly progressing.
To think there will not be significant advancement in batterry technology is very short sited.
It sure is. Along with many other technologies in many other realms. No different since the first caveman sparked 2 rocks together and began eating cooked brontosaurus instead of raw...
But for so many to be so smug (not saying you are, as you're quite clear-headed about this subject IMO) to believe unconditionally that the technology will make EVs the clear and best choice (same people who already preach that in current day but most haven't put their money where their mouth is) to the point that govt entities are trying to enact legislation that will take effect 10-15 years from now is either absolutely short sighted or proves an agenda that is some sort of departure from what is best for "everyone". Many view the motive here as an attempt to establish or maintain more control over the population in general.
Or think about it this way since so many like to compare this EV advancement to the last turn of the century change from horse drawn transportation to ICE vehicles.
Very similar. New technology usually wins...
Did the govt (here or anywhere in the world) have to outlaw the sale of horses. Or artificially raise the price of hay and horse feed, or put a tax on veterinarians, blacksmiths, farriers, and farmers, to raise the cost of owning a horse, to convince the average person to up grade to a car?
Nope. End of story. As that is not the case now...
