mr peters speaks about electric vehicles in this post and doesn't get as far as cost involved but focuses on the user experience;

 Have you ever wondered why soldiers and cops don’t carry revolvers anymore? It’s because semi-auto pistols work better. Both shoot bullets, but a revolver generally holds only 5-6 of them and reloading it when you’re in a hurry takes precious time you may not have. A semi-auto pistol can hold twice as many bullets and reloading it is as easy – and as fast – as dropping the empty magazine and shoving a new one, loaded with bullets, into the gun.

Electric cars are like revolvers.

They only hold so much – and it takes a long time to reload them.

Which would be ok – in revolver terms – if semi-auto pistols hadn’t been invented yet or we weren’t being pressured to give up our semi-auto pistols (our non-electric cars) for revolvers.

And yet, we are being pressured to give them up..........more.........
