Anyone who thinks some article or Youtube video that points out a short term hiccup is going to kill the future of EVs is living in a fantasy world. It was always going to be two steps forward and one step back, particularly with an aggressive rollout.

Subsidies have assisted the early-stage development and adoption, but even if eliminated they will never kill the momentum. Maybe slow it a little. Then, lighter, more energy dense batteries that charge quickly will be here before not too long, and the much lower cost of manufacturing an EV vs. a high performance ICE vehicle, will eventually cement EVs as the best choice for most people.

EVs already have the torque and quickness crown, without even that being the main thrust (pun intended). Weight loss and quicker charging will make them competitive/equal in handling soon enough.

Win/win - there will be plenty of used/new ICE vehicles for those who still want them, and less demand for gasoline. So, what's the problem?
