Technology doesn’t make them feasible yet

Probably never will.
Kind of simple physics.
Gas engines has been optimized to the degree that they are pretty close in efficiency to the power generators.
Electricity distribution (wires) are expensive and will always have loses.
Charging times will always be longer than buying gas (physics!)
And batteries are probably not going to be really light ever.
In physical terms, EV uses a lot more energy than Gas.
It take energy to generate electricity, energy loss in transmission, battery loss in charging, discharging,
EV engine loss, and all the energy needed to carry those heavy batteries around!
It is just that we do not see the energy in EV.
We see gas, but electricity somehow appears in the jack, not seen, not emitting.
And gas is heavy taxes, while electricity is subsidized.
So people may see savings where there are none, just by gov actions.
Government! Please, do not try to fight Physics!
Laws of Physics (God laws) trump any Government laws!
Thank you.
People also don’t consider the raw materials costs in making the batteries.
There’s only so much lithium on the planet. And can solar and wind, which also have their problems with producing them and disposal, meet the demand?
If the whole country went electric, would there be enough in the grid to supply that demand? I’m guessing not in light of the AI electric demand issue that’s come up recently.
