AT one point the driver had to drive about 30 miles out of his way to find a charger. That will certainly be improved in the next FEW years even without any technology improvement. It is hard to put a price on CLEAN air and quieter roads and quiet for the driver. CLEAN air certainly in the future will extend the useful lives of humans from fewer chest cancer problems and other health problems.
........Electric motors have the potential to have MUCH lower maintenance costs than the internal combustion engine. This will be a BIG factor in favor of E-vehicles in the future. With E-vehicles you are getting clean air and less maintenance. Anyway in 20 years there may be zero oil.

Sounds like excuses for a weak foundation for one's point of view.
