They’ve been pie in the sky for decades.

Paying $20,000 for a new battery is just not practical, etc.

“Paying $20,000 for a new battery is just not practical”

Here are some rough calculations:

$20,000 cost per battery. You get 200,000 miles out of it. That’s 10 cents per mile for the battery alone not counting the electricity to charge it.

$3.50 cost of gallon of gasoline. 25 miles per gallon. That’s 14 cents per mile for the gasoline.

The EV heyday ended around 1920.

It’s not so bad if it comes fully charged.
