EV's of the future will not have batteries like today... or EV's will not be plentiful or "the car of the future".
Problem with the batteries are the components. A gas engine is iron and aluminum, easily found in the earth's crust and easily refined. EV batteries are nickel, cobalt and 10 other hard to dig elements. Unless 'we' are willing to destroy the parts of the earth that contain these components, EV's will be a fad.
Oh heck no! The greenies don't mind eagles being killed by wind farms, so they won't mind mining rare minerals to create a narrative that battery is better.
You guys miss the point of EV's... it's the people that drive them that talk about how they could save the earth. Elon Musk, on the other hand, is in it to make money. He's a capitalist first.
I've always agreed about the batteries. While li-ion is a good tech, it's not the final form. They're currently rolling through aluminum-ion batteries that charge incredibly fast. Like, charge an ev PowerBank quicker than filling up type speed. But like every technology in the history of man, we must exhaust each level of tech before moving on to the next.
