the current problem with EV's isn't the cars or the batteries, it's that oil is still massively subsidized. once that hurdle is overcome (it's just a matter of when, as oil is increasingly getting more expensive to recover anyway and will run out, and also renewable energy just keeps getting cheaper) the rest of the hurdles then fall in turn. people will be paying for charging more often so more will get built, which will allow batteries to get smaller and both will also further increase the number of EV's. we might even get to the point where infrastructure is under the road surface and we can charge wirelessly which will even further reduce battery needs.

They are also still experimenting with H2, there may be interesting alternatives also in alternative petrols that cause less C02 emissions
