> The problems with grid capacity for scaling up electric vehicles, their unsuitability for long uninterrupted trips, lack of towing performance, etc., seem well-covered enough
Those are very temporary problems. I would be very surprised if EVs don't end up outperforming ICEVs on all those metrics within a decade or two, and that's a pretty conservative estimate.
