    That’s why I think we should go with a petrol or a hybrid car. Mileage would be so good that it will tide over the gap until we figure out how to make batteries economically viable.

      Tell us you don’t understand economics without telling us.

      Also, tell us you haven’t been paying attention to evs without telling us.

      There are a couple of new chemistries that should be in vehicles soon that are from more abundant and lower cost ingredients.

      Just like everything else over the centuries, the first iterations of a brand new technology are going to be a lot more expensive than some of us would like. Over time with enough demand and development that price will fall as it’s already doing with ev batteries just not fast enough for some of you whiners.
