Sure if you have $50k for a car, can charge at home, and want to drive 300 miles without charging then you need 1 ton (or so) of batteries. But as electrification improves, more charging stations, better autonomous driving, car sharing services that don't require drivers, etc. The size of batteries can shrink and the number of people that need dedicated cars will decrease. A self driving EV could be significantly cheaper than human driven Uber/Lyft, allowing more people to opt in only as needed, which makes public transit more feasible.
