It is NOT practical or possible to replace all ICE vehicles with E-vehicles instantly. It will take time. Both the US and Europe have made a good start. In Europe about 20% of all NEW vehicles are E-vehicles and in the US, it is about 8%. Electric vehicles have advantages of greater acceleration and increased reliability. As more people purchase E-vehicles, greater research will produce better batteries. E-vehicles are like newborn babies in their developmental history. ICE vehicles are like VERY old seniors. many more charging stations will appear in the next 2 years.
.........Even Electric Golf Carts have many advantages. Their lower center of gravity increases their acceleration and increases SAFETY from roll-overs.
