Post the next jump in battery tech (we're overdue, and I honestly think Tesla will be the primary driving force, likely the inventor, there), the use of EV will be rampant.
That's the rub. This discussion is mostly moot until they make the next breakthrough in energy storage. We are still using galvanic technology but with more modern materials. Electric motors have plenty of torque and power, don't require a transmission, the benefits are plentiful. Those huge mining dump trucks use electric hub motors on each wheel. BUT they get their juice from diesel. Ev's now are the beginnings of the next evolution of vehicle technology, but just like buying the first generations of anything, those buyers get to be the beta testers. I'll wait for energy storage that allows for more flexibility in my choice of vehicle. And, since new tech is so expensive, sometimes the government decides to "help". All of the "free" stuff comes from somewhere. Supposedly the companies absorb the cost of that. In reality, we know they pass these costs on to the consumer. When they can't pass them on to the consumer:
