EV-based road transportation is not viable

vad:
Battery-powered vehicles will not save us. Here is why by a mechanical engineer from Serbia:

He brings few interesting points: charging infrastructure is infeasible for many car owners (think the third world countries where urban population lives predominately in high density residential buildings), and CO2 emissions impact of EVs is comparable to impact of vehicles with internal combustion engine.

I agree with the author. ICE vehicles are not going anywhere any time soon. Not until global hydrocarbon reserves are depleted. Beyond that point, transportation industry will switch to alternative energy carriers. I doubt that lithium ion batteries will dominate as energy carriers by then. In my opinion, hydrogen infrastructure, where a gas station is replaced by a hydrogen station, is more practical.

Siwastaja:
You are 10 years late with that criticism. It already happened, and it was viable after all. Sorry.

james_s:
While it's true that ICE cars are not going anywhere any time soon, EVs have already shown to be practical for millions of people. I know at least half a dozen people that drive them, several have had them for quite a few years now.

It's always funny to me when I see someone predicting something will never work that has already been working for quite some time.

Hello you’re about 5 years too late millions of EVs on the road and more to come. Sure the steam engine will never catch on and the world only needs 7 computers !!!!

Yep, the OP's knowledge and perspectives are way-way out dated.

Just watch this ... ( this video is made one year ago) ...
