The real drawbacks to EV's, is simply the power-grid. Until we get back to producing electric power with nuclear plants, we just won't be able to supply the electricity. I just had a large residential project in MA gutted, because NationalGrid says they can't deliver sufficient power for the development.
And Tesla made that big investment to supply charging stations. Tesla always seems to be step ahead. Agree, the power grid holding everything back. It take our (over 60s) life time to fix it IMO.
