It shouldn’t be, hydrogen was the real future but was more complicated and costly to develope so they went the easy route.
So many studies showing that electric isn’t what it’s advertised at, for the majority of people it’s NOT lowering their carbon footprint, only at 80,000 miles does it’s full environmental impact overtake gas engines and will they really be driven past that? It’s battery won’t last and then you are resetting the impact again when buying a new battery.
And resale will be horrible. Electric cars are like iPhones, they will eventually lose more residual per year than gas cars ever did. No one will want used electric cars.
Maybe solid state batteries will change things but I am not buying a car that is only guaranteed to have 75% battery life after 3 years, what a joke. Imagine if you were told your gas car would only get 75% range and lose power after 3 years.
