First, Ford, GM, and VW need to figure out charging. Even if you assume they are going to catch up in terms of battery production, they still have infrastructure which is only marginally capable of supporting the small number of non-Teslas out there now. Double the number of EVs and the problem just gets worse.
Maybe Electrify America is going to come through. I haven't seen a ton of evidence they will.
