The key to EVs is new battery technology. Lithium ion has been around in cell phones and other applications for over 30 years and hasn't changed. There's a lot of drawbacks to long term lithium durability and usage.

Looking forward to solid state batteries and other stuff that can increase density, durability and faster charging. I believe that is the key to mass adoption. The average car on the road is 10 years old. We need EVs to perform same as new driving range in 10 years. A gasoline car still has the same range at 10+ years. Just as people don't replace an engine in their cars in 10 years, no one should need to replace a battery.
