The whole premise of the article is that BEV are dead in the water as they are too expensive, the range is too low, there is not enough electricity to charge them and it would take at least 50 years to solve these problems.
Clearly the author has completely missed the developments in battery technology of the past 10 years and the lowering prices of EVs in that same timeframe. Just an example, a 2012 Nissan Leaf started $36k (MRSP) and could barely get you through 100 miles. The 2024 model starts at $28k and gets you 200 miles. Take inflation into account and you pay 40% less for twice the range. I don’t see any reason why these developments would not continue into the future.
