You know producing lithium batteries and especially discarding lithium batteries is very bad for the environment (hazardous waste items)? Check this out:

Carbon Footprint of Lithium-Ion Battery Production (vs Gasoline, Lead-Acid)

I’ll take a normal combustion engine car over an EV now (which I just did) and imo it might take EVs a few more decades to perfect the technology.
It would seem that EV technology is being widely used as a replacement for combustion engines today. "I wouldn't buy one of those!" Fine, but your neighbor and his buddy already did. Cars, golf carts, and residential-grade lawn maintenance equipment powered by batteries are being widely purchased today.

I was surprised to find the article was not anti-battery.
