I'm waiting to see battery tech to become safer and less expensive to produce. $10-20k to replace a battery is ridiculous especially since the manufactures like Tesla now have EV drivers by the balls.
Charging takes travelers on mainstream routes in order to have a charger nearby.
This makes a vacationing family avoid fun and adventurous paths to avoid running out of charge. (As a kid, my father would take an alternate route to see more than what the interstate had to offer)
It used to be better-off people bought new cars, later on traded them resulting in cars available for less well-off who often times fixed the cars themselves which led into careers in mechanics. This doesn't seem possible at this point with EVs not being financially feasible or technically possible to fix by the average consumer.
Things will have to change in the EV industry before they can make ICE vehicles obsolete.
