I don't disagree with any of your points. But I think the technology will solve them. Its like candlemakers got to see the worlds first lightbulb for the first time, and are going "well, the glass is really fragile. And the electricity still has to come from somewhere". That's not wrong, those are all true points. But it seems crystal clear that despite the early shortcomings this technology will lead the future. Electric Cars seem the same way. There are edge cases they don't handle today, this is true. But electrics can already handle 80%+ of all driving needs today, and those remaining edge cases are being solved at a fairly rapid pace. In just the last few years, we've already seen the range rise substantially and the prices drop slightly. (Compare the 2011 Leaf with ~84 mile battery had a base MSRP of $34k (inflation adjusted to $38k in 2017 dollars), to the current 2017 Bolt with ~238 mile battery at a base MSRP of $36k). And of course, used vehicles are bringing the TCO down, so much so that even middle class people can easily afford electric cars. Older used Nissan Leaf cars often sell for as low as $9k. It seems obvious to me that this technology will continue to improve so that for those people who can't switch to electric today, they will certainly be able to in the near future.
