However, there are still drawbacks to owning an electric car which is why the market is still developing. For gas-powered vehicles to be fully replaced, an electric car will need to function in almost all the same ways.In addition, an electric car needs to have an affordable entry-level option. The marketplace for electric cars is quite expensive, and repairs can be quite costly as well.

The main problem I see is how to get nice clean energy into them batts without producing it too far away in some most likely half/unclean sources.
And as I stated before, if nuclear was all over (maybe it will be one day) then el cars should be a good thing as the el is then pr.def clean as can be.
What is a fact is that one day we will be out of fuel, some 50 years from now. Gotta have something else by then. So it comes anyway. It's not a if, but when and how.
In the mean time I drive my 17y old gasoline car with great conscience knowing it's one of the cleanest cars on the road.
The Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) will be Dead as Caesar Muy Pronto ...
We'll still need to generate Electricity, of course -
So the ICE/Gas Turbines run on Natural Gas wouldn't be Totally Obsolete.

Electric cars are like saying cause a black horse collects suns rays more, switching to a white horse will make it all better. You still have input and output.
But electric cars with those Goodenough Batteries would be Epic COOL ...
Folks have mentioned "Mining" related to Electric Car Tech.
FWIW -
The technology Requires Lithium & Afghanistan has been called "The Saudi Arabia Of Lithium".
Ol' Joe's announced U.S. Troops will be Leaving Afghanistan -
PRO Mercenaries will be Taking Over.
No More Mr. NICE Guy when SERIOUS Money's involved, eh? ...
