Separately from the batteries, some other concerns I haven't seen discussed much: We find charging at home to be one of the great benefits of having an EV (no need to go to a gas station) and without the ability to do so, the EV would be much less usable because of the extra charging logistics. Since we can charge at home we only take a charging logistics cost when taking unusually long trips. Having more EV charging availability improves but doesn't solve charging logistics simply because charging takes a lot more time than filling up with gas. But for people who live in an apartment charging at home is usually not an option (and even if it becomes one it may well only be available at inflated prices), even people that live in a single family residence in suburbia may be unable to charge at home. If you are one of the many people who use street parking, again-- charging at home is right out. All these sorts of things are less of an issue so long as ICE cars are still available: EVs get used by people who they fit best for, and ICE get used by people for whom the different EV dynamics don't work best. From an environmental perspective, it only matters that total amount of distributed pollution sources are substantially reduced-- we don't need to eliminate them completely. (At some point pollution from tires dominates in any case, or from the mfgr/disposal of the car).
