Yeppers. Then ‘science’ guys have been telling us about that breakthrough that will give the EV 100-200 percent greater range since Robert Anderson around 1832 and William Morrison around 1892 and Thomas Edison from 1875 until his death in 1931.
Yes sir that breakthrough is just around the corner.
Meanwhile the EU is hedging their bets on EVs and starting to talk about biofuel.

Battery tech is far better than in the late 19th and early twentieth century. It’s possible to buy an EV with a range comparable to a common midsized sedan but you will pay an astronomical price. A Lucid dream compares favorably on range to a Camry or Altima but at maybe three times the price.

The crossover market fetish undermines fuel efficiency in both ICE and BEV. Crossovers won’t compete with sedans because of weight and wind resistance but almost no one is making daily driver cars now. If you need to tow, forget BEV.

A BEV issue is electronics fail, they don’t wear out over time like mechanical parts. It’s unlikely BEV will be long life vehicles because there won’t be after market parts and repair will be expensive. Electrical issues are very difficult to diagnose.

Trump was right to point out the critical importance of affordable vehicles. We need them here in America. They represent freedom, autonomy, independence and self reliance. Can’t all get by riding buses, trains or subways. Dependence on Lyft or Uber is cost prohibitive.
