For example, Tesla is making 1 million cars a year and will hit a 2 million per year rate this year, yet. they are sold out until Oct-Jan of 2022. Tesla has 1.5 million preorders for the Cybertruck and Ford's electric F-150 will fly off the shelves. Every legacy auto maker is busting butt to develop EVs and batteries and vowing to go fully electric in the next few years. They must know something. Read a couple articles on the Mustang Mach-E, the VW ID4 or Tesla's Model 3 and Y. You might be surprised.
In a year or two? 90 percent of EVs are being sold to people who have a garage. What about the millions of people who live in apartments and don't even have an assigned parking space? I don't have anything against EVs, but it will take a lot more time than a year or two.
