Ecars for short distances inside cities, service cars: maybe, I cannot competently judge that, but have my ebike experience, I could ikmagien ecars in cities work, but not for every private household (too expensive). But as Neal already mentioned: I think for trucking, freight moving, overland travelling, families needing their cars for both in- and outside cities travelling : an idiotic idea. Too expensive. And not ecologically sustainable.

Yes, I think you're right. Plus, it's possible/likely that a new tech, like the solid state batteries Toyota is working on, could render the current EVs obsolete. Imagine spending $60,000 on a 2024 EV and a 2025 model with a radically different power system comes out at the same price point but with double the range and 10 min charging time. Who would want to be stuck with the crappy old version?
