Both have to happen - more or less at the same time.

And I don't know why you think no one is "aware" of the elephant in. the room (those problems). Every single company I have looked at are seriously working on those problems.

Chicken and Egg.
Don’t you mean no power??. Few fully electric vehicles are enjoying the not crowed charging points right now. add 10 or even hundreds of thousands and you just cant fill up in 10 minutes or so, you have to wait till there open charging point to even start the regeneration. Hybrid makes good sense IMO right now until there will be enough power generated and enough fast charging to satisfy demands when number explode?
