While everyone bangs on about EV range, in reality it is less important than charging time. A ICE runs low on fuel and you pull into a garage and 5 minutes later you are off fully "charged". A EV runs low on juice and you pull into a charge point (if there is not a queue) and wait and wait and wait and wait - Tesla have the best charging system but even then you have to wait a long time - also what if you live in an inner city house that only has on street parking - where to you charge when home.
No - it is time to look at battery technology and charging technology so that an EV can receive a full charge in a few minutes or develop systems that can swap out discharged batteries for charge ones in a few minutes at a EV service station.
Yes EVs are good for some - would be OK where I live to commute around town but not good if I want to drive interstate - range not the issue, but charging times, charging points are.
