The fact Mr. Wes Patoka is oblivious to the fact America’s transportation fleet runs on gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels is mind boggling. America’s transportation needs are not going to be met by electric vehicles, solar power, wind power, or environmentalists’ bloviating. Pound for pound, there is NO replacement for fossil fuels that offer the same energy for a given amount of fuel. [And no, Mr. Patoka, we are not going to see nuclear or steam powered vehicles either.]

You’re right that right now the electric car is not as good as the internal combustion engine.
Elon musk himself would likely not disagree with you. Battery prices are too high and their performance is still too low.That’s why a 30k tesla motors car won’t be available for another 4 years. Musk likely figures it’ll take Tesla that long to get a battery that’s cheap enough —yet still performs to spec.
