I was chatting to friend whom works in EV department for AA.
The battery tech is improving for sure.
But the a very expensive to replace and their life is alot less than that or the car.
By the time u need to replace the tech has improved and thus making it move feasible to buy a new car.
So the industry will become more focused on new cars rather than like internal combustion engines where we hang onto to older cars for alot longer..
etc
Anyway it is a generalisation..
There certainly is a place for EV around town. Long trips LPG should be more handy. Even better to have an LPG range extender.
Another point to bare in mind is tax and surcharges, infrastructure.
As a Point in HK LPG is not viable due to space for LPG refilling stations needed..
I'll try google reference for u later when I get time.
