Ok Billions,
You think the whole world is going to go PURE EV then think again.......
EV's are a viable option (now) if you live and work anywhere near a city but beyond that they are flawed.
Stop at a motorway service station for an hour and watch just how many vehicles stop for fuel, yes some of this could be avoided with better forward planning by motorists, but it is just not viable to have to stop for an hour (minimum) just to top up your battery!
Please also note that the manufacturers quoted ranges are "theoretical maximums" and will never be achieved on the road and will only be worse in winter conditions!
It will be interesting to see how freight transport gets on! How big would the battery need to be for an articulated vehicle, these also tend to be working for 9/10 hours per day!
As I mentioned earlier, did you look into shipping?
The future WILL BE hydrogen fuel cell / battery hybrid.
Anyway I have my thoughts, you have yours,
Goodluck!
