Ultimately, while we 'WILL' move to electric vehicles, the shape they take in power plants will change.

We will eventually move to some source of fuel cell. Either hydrogen based or methane based is more likely in the near future. Plenty of Nat Gas right now if they make a distribution system for the fuel.

You have this issue in the northern states of needing heat in them in the winter months.
Try to heat them up with electric and you will soon find your range about 1/10 of normal.
Fuel cells can generate the heat as well as the electric. Batteries do loose capacity the colder they get. They may warm some when you put a natural load on them. but a loss is expected. A mix of battery and fuel cells will be the thing in less than 8 years.
Fuel cells will become cheaper faster than batteries and reduce some of the weight overhead. Vastly improve the range & speed as well as quickness.

But all in all, the car co's will want them as they are just better for them in the long run.
The fact that you have fewer parts and much fewer moving parts will eventually become cheaper for them as this moves along. But you can never expect cheaper cars.
No matter what they do, it is a reason to raise prices.

No change can be a rapid one. But this is where everything is going.
For sports driving folks, you can't beat the instant torq available, provided they did a proper design job on the size of motors vs the weight.
