God you are stupid. Power weight ratio. Humanity moves towards tech that can do more work not less. Electric cars can not do the amount of work a gas car can or truck. The tech is just not there and then you ignore that for the majority of humanity the grid is not there for electric cars, and electric cars have been around for more than a century. You can move a 55 gallon drum of gas anywhere in the world not an electric grid at least not for a century. Africa, Asia, S. America do not have the grid and do you see signs that they will get there quickly. Also do you see Europe and N. America rushing to building the power plants need for a massive switch over to electric cars? No you do not if fact regulations are making it harder to build up the electrical grid in Europe and N. America. The electric car will not be here in mass usage for a century if not longer.

Do you have anything more to offer than a shallow retort lacking any substance?

Edit: Just so everyone knows the tech to drill on the bottom of the ocean for oil is more advanced than the best battery tech available now and it produces far more energy than batteries ever will. The smart money is still on Hydrocarbons accept that is the future for the next century and we can actually solve problems related to the environment.

Also China and India is building its own native car companies and they are not building electric car companies what does that tell you about the future of electric cars?

The undertaking of electric grid is so much less compared to the current gas station sprawl.

Well now I know you do not have an idea about what you are talking about. How come you can get petrol in remote Vietnam but the power is spotty? In rural India you can get petrol and not electricity. They sell gas on off the backs of donkeys, you can not put an electrical grid on the back of a donkey. You have no idea how big and complicated an electrical grid is. You are talking out of your ass, ignorant, and one sheltered person.
