One issue that few mention is the resale value and expense. A lot of people would never be able to afford a used electric and the expenses involved with replacing batteries etc.

They are essentially throwaways.
Lithium Ion batteries? I assume these would be expensive.
NO different that rebuilding transmissions and engines.
The cost of batteries today will not be the cost to replace battery packs in the future. And once battery packs are no longer viable for cars they are still good for energy storage.
