2. Electricity is not portable like hydrocarbons.

On that note I'll add to what I don't like:

1. An electric car is an ELECTRONIC car. - It spies on the driver and its occupants

2. Charging them is a pain !
Again I don't want to drive a non-engine car and my generation doesn't either but as he said in this video batteries will continue to get smaller and pack more power. Also, the price of building a EV car will be less in the coming decades.

charging is a pain? I plug my cell in every night and the younger people live with their phones always plugged in. In the coming decades, you will find charging stations so that people that don't have a garage can still charge their cars with fast chargers.



I just don't see the gas engine going away in the next 40-50 yrs,
