All of them expensive and the more times you charge the less efficient the batteries become over time. Battery technology can only go so far and then there is pollution involved in making the batteries and disposing of them, they cannot be recycled. Then we have the cost of the electricity to charge.

BS!

Ten year old batteries still have 90% capacity.

They CAN be recycled.

Cost of electricity less than gasoline.

Tesla recycles 100% of their batteries.
