I'd take that bet.
EVs will NOT "dominate the roads in the next 5-10 years" AND it will take a major revolutionary breakthrough to get much more than 500miles on a mobile battery pack with one charge. That said, even with that, how long would you be on in line or at the charging station to charge the battery pack? Sorry, but once folks find out how long it will take to get a charge on their EV, they will gladly trade it in for a gas guzzler.
I expect to get up to 30 more years on this earth and I sincerely doubt I will ever be forced to move to an EV. As a matter of fact, I am looking to trade my battery powered golf cart in for a fossil fuel replacement. Do I worry about air pollution? IN my lifetime, the air has gotten cleaner. Machinery has become more fuel efficient and less polluting. The air quality is much better now than when I was a child.
