At the end the consumer will determine how fast gas cars will fade out. A good barometer to focus on is how much money all the car companies are investing in the EV future. Remember before 1900, horses still dominated the mode of transportation in this country, and we all have to admit things are moving a lot faster today.

Whatever problems these vehicles are facing today will work its way out, as long as there is a profit at the end someone will come up with a solution. No matter how much wants to hold onto the past you cannot stop the future.

What you say is true but consumers will still be able to vote with their feet. The question to me is will consumers be willing to pay the extra initial costs of EVs?

Time will tell.
