The demand will continue to be limited IF they can’t overcome the range or charging issues.
IF you can drive the vehicle year round in minus twenty or 120 degree temperatures without losing power is the other technological issue.
I bought my first battery operated exterior power tool a couple years ago. A Stihl hedge trimmer. Prior to that everything I have used was a 2 stroke engine. I still have multiple chainsaws, string trimmers all with 2 stroke engines.
I MAY never buy another 2 stroke engine again. The battery in the hedge trimmer lasts about 45 minutes of run time. I have two of them now. I have run it out of power once since I bought it.
My point is that the battery technology continues to change.
When it is comparable to the range and ease of use of an ICE then there will be a major shift in what the average consumer buys.
Well, for real chainsaws, 2 stroke can not be beat period.
I can’t even think of a battery that would work with my Husky 395XP or Stihl 044.
Unless they come up with an electric car/truck with a 6 or 7 speed manual transmission, I ain’t biting.
Batteries will never match the energy stored in gas/diesel.
