Objectively (a dangerous word, I know), I think everyone can acknowledge the merits of an EV over an ICE vehicle. But what are the people that can't charge at home supposed to do when the infrastructure for mobile charging is going to be inadequate to support the future (massive) supply of EVs?
By 2025, we are going to have more EV options than you can believe. Do you seriously think automakers are planning on pumping these things out with the hope that the public will buy them? Absolutely not. They are making them because they know customers are not going to be given a choice. A large portion of millennials, and virtually all generations thereafter have given up on the possibility of home ownership because they are completely priced out of the market and can't compete with large corporations and "boomers" paying cash for houses sight unseen. Where will these people charge their cars? I know it's a very complex problem, but it all just seems so poorly thought out...

What do you consider near future?
I don't think we're going to see an EV only future for another 20-30 years.
By that time the challenges that exist today are likely to be addressed or mitigated to the point they are minor inconveniences at best.
I'm a bit perplexed why folks don't see the RAPID advancements that have already been made in a relatively short time frame with in the last decade.
Give it another 2-3 decades and you all still think we'll be facing these same challenges?
