The lack of appropriate battery technology is largely overblown as is the problem of the lack of infrastructure. It is guided by a faith that techno development is driven by markets and limited only by the laws of nature. As with many of the “faiths” we live by it is a half truth at best. But, hey. You’re also hearing from someone who is quite certain that GM’s mid-90s EV1 with a range of 120 miles was a perfectly viable vehicle - both technologically and economically.
Aside from that, it sounded to me like dagosa was saying that movement toward potentially better systems will continue to go at a foot-dragging, snail’s pace unless some pushing gets done.
