New battery technology aside, the charging infrastructure just isn't in place, will cost a lot of $$$, and take decades or longer to fund and install - all the while putting greater demand on coal and LP fired electric plants which are already prone to brownouts and rationing. We can't even keep the existing electrical grid up.

I don't hear many people say it is dead in the water at all. I only hear one side saying we're going to EV in 12 years or whatever, and the flip side saying we aren't going to be there that quickly. I do happen to be on the side that finds it hard to believe I'm going to be pulling an RV across the country in 15 years efficiently. If we're doing it, I think it will simply be mandated and the powers that be won't care how many days it takes us to get there because we have to recharge repeatedly on the way. More realistically, I venture to guess that diesel trucks will still be diesels (or hybrids) in 2035. But what do I know?

Considering the source is a EV promoting website, one has to take the information with a grain of salt. And several times mention was made about the government paying to add more charging stations, but no mention was made as to how those charging stations will be supplied. Just un-named experts, with one exception, that say the electrical grid will "evolve", but no specifics. I have no issues with the expanding EV market, but do question how the electrical grid is going to "evolve".

I believe that the BBB plan has allocated $5B to install 500,000 new charging stations. Won't happen overnite but doesn't have to. The current rate of EV sales so far doesn't seem to warrant charging station on every corner so to speak. Just my speculation but as charging improves so does EV sales. I'm sure the fossil fuel industry can paint a bleak picture of it though.

If and when electric takes over there will have to be charge stations as there are gas stations now. They will not be free. What everyone thinks right now about how cheap it is, that will change. People will not put them up unless they can make good money off it. States will get a lot more involved in taxing people to replace the money they lose off gas. It will cost as much to drive electric as it does gas. People will not lose their their business's and states will not give up a big revenue source without replacing it.
