It’s cute that you think age means wisdom. If that were true, then the older ruling class wouldn’t be absolutely fucking our planet.
Every problem that EVs have, there’s a solution for. People are actively working on them, and some government are pushing EVs for environmental reasons. Once the problems that they have are solved they will be objectively better than ICE cars.
Also, mobile phones weren’t always the objectively best choice. There was a period of time where landlines were the better option because of the lack of infrastructure supporting them. It wasn’t until the infrastructure started to expand to cover everywhere that the explosive growth really happened.
And your “physics problems” are also solvable, people are currently putting billions of billions of dollars into battery research. There will come a point where batteries are superior to a tank of fuel for most use cases. I don’t want to be the person saying “oh, solid state batteries are right around the corner,” because companies have been promising them “next year” for like a decade now. But they almost certainly will eventually be viable commercially, and they only need to be half as good as they promise to really push the viability of EVs for the majority of use cases.


And then the other people with guns will come and jack your shit.
