Unless the bias against nuke energy goes away, electric vehicles are dead as the dodo.
Windmills and solar cost more than the energy they produce, plus transmission issues means you need nearly 100% of capacity ready to go that is non-renewable.
Right now electric vehicles are fundamentally coal powered. Look what happened when Germany shut down it's nuke plants. They are ramping up production of hugely expensive and impractical solar and wind for show, and importing cheap coal produced from East Europe for the majority of their energy needs. Resulting in a net gain in carbon output and pollutants.
And never mind the ecological disaster that is battery production. Luckily those are produced in developing countries where brown people live, so us rich Westerners can drive an electric car and masturbate mentally to feel good about ourselves.
