Good point about the batteries.
Another issue is the capacity of the electrical grid. I’ve heard that if we suddenly had tens of millions of electric vehicles on the road, that our grid couldn’t support that many vehicles recharging.

Yep. and the only types of plant capable of supplying the necessary amperage are coal/gas/nuclear - all types the greenies and the electric car crowd want to eliminate. Bio/wind/solar cannot generate sustained amperage needed and need conventional back up power plants.
Another point everyone forgets: electric cars pay no road tax. Roads do not fix themselves. So more toll roads, higher tolls, semis will have to pay more because every road has to have a toll - food and goods prices will rise sharply.
Alternative is to have car millage meters which report actual millage to some central office and that in turn sends bills to car owner to pay for road maintenance.
Electric cars suck
