If everyone could afford them and could live with them, there aren't enough available.
If there were enough available, there aren't enough charging stations.
If there were enough charging stations, there isn't enough electricity.
Other than that, Pete's ideas make sense.

The technology is just not there for it to be an economical reality. China is supporting the EV development and is likely ten years ahead of the American programs. 60 Minutes did an excellent piece on this in 2019. You can see it online if you have Paramount.
It's coming, but not a reality in today's world for the average family, in any country, excluding China because I don't know. In other words, we depend on fossil fuel for the time being. So time for Biden to pull a 180 for the good of the country.
