    EVs won’t, because internal combustion cars will always be the better options, and the niche applications where ICE simply isn’t viable will be served by bunker fuel rather than EVs. It’s a mongrel of a product to manufacture, store, transport and charge the vehicle, wheras liquid fuels can be stored in a fuel can, and transported by every means of transport known to man.

    EVs have been the propulsion of the future for the last fifty years, and it’s still not a viable option.

      This is true if you completely ignore the cost of running a combustion engine vehicle, or the fact that EVs have improved hugely even over the last ten years.
