I agree, this article was disappointing and is attracting the reaction I expected once I finished reading it. Ultimately the author pointed out the minor infrastructure development requirements of EVs, a bizarre point about hauling trailers and the (eventual?) decline in tax incentives for EVs across the globe, which may or may not be the case given the economical and environmental savings governments accrue in the future. Then the author provides the simple solutions which many commentators are providing in the conclusion.
Maybe more interesting angles could have been supplying the gigantic increase in demand for metals required to produce EV batteries, or the regulatory/industrial battle the EV industry faces with the traditional auto and oil industries (notably the Koch brothers).
