I think the shift to EV is inevitable.

[colordrops]

I agree, but it won't happen until EVs get more range.

The range is fine today, the problem is charging infrastructure now. There aren't enough high speed chargers, and we can't build more because of the same reasons we can't build more AI datacenters: power. Tesla can build tons of them because they're backed by large grid batteries that suck up the power peaks from fast charging so that they can install their charging stations anywhere that has somewhat reliable power. If you don't have the batteries to act as a peak shaver, then it's really hard to install high speed charging where people need it most in residential and commercial areas that are already oversubscribed.

It already happened. 1/3rd of the global car market is EV. Range is not an issue.

That has been happening consistently for almost 15 years. https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/articles/fotw-1323-janu...

Better charging infrastructure and faster charging batteries will mitigate some of that.
