Electric cars are a fiasco.
Imagine when all (or most of) all the cars are electric. The Electricity has to come from some where. The price of electricity will go up...Maybe a buck or more a KW hour (probably dollars/KWHr). People will be complaining about that.
Then just think of all the environmental problems and costs associated with recycling all those batteries. Lithium a a nasty, reactive and a toxic substance. The better the battery, the nastier the chemistry.
People do not realize the first rule of engineering; "There ain't no free lunch"
In a hundred years from now, the History channel will have a show about the demise of the automobile and the electric car will be highlighted. A bad idea in 1905, a stupid idea in 2017.
Everybody will go back to having a horse. Horse #### all over the place, but carbon neutral.
