Batteries are improving much faster that internal combustion engines. Today, for daily driving EVs might be cheaper and more convenient if you have a garage where you can recharge daily.
For road trips, not so much.
The price of electricity is a big future issue.
On January 1st here in northern CT the per kilowatt hour cost went up by more than 60%.
The state and region have been totally tone deaf on the need to increase grid capacity—so it is hard to see electric prices going anywhere but up up up....
Meanwhile gasoline prices have remained relatively stable over the last few months.
An electric vehicle is like a multi-year casino visit—no way to know whether you will be a winner or get burned.
A friend of mine had one that basically looked like a four seat glorified golf cart. He used it for running errands around town for his business. It worked fine for going to get coffee at the local 7-11.
Many towns in liberal states (and entire states) have passed laws that every new or remodeled house MUST have an EV charger. So you pay $25,000 whether you want it or not.
That does wonders for housing prices and availability.
Overhead trolly wires.
Sure works for trains in Europe.
I believe you are wrong.
My F150 has 445 HP and gets 20 mpg with 5 liters. ICU’s have overcome emission controls, and you can easily get 1,000 hp out of stock car engines with turbo or supercharging and tweaks to the computers.
There is a limit on what you can get out of rechargeable batteries
