@arskinF it is my thought that in the next 5 years the first adopters will have the pain of waiting for the needed infrastructure and paying the price of battery development. Chinese cars will dominate in this period as they have a well established manufacturing industry. The idea cars will be cheaper with subsidies is a myth but after the government and fleet cars hit the roads in numbers individual buyers will benefit from the rush of manufacturers vying for market share.
Maybe the BYD model might prove popular with private owners - you own the car they own the batteries. They have the technology to exchange charged batteries for depleted one in a 5 minute window.
I hope you enjoy your EV it is unlikely to happen in my life’s horizon. EV development is just one change needed in an economy build on fossil fuels.
