All the negativity is overlooking that this is a really exciting time for electric cars, IMO. Aside from price, Tesla is still by far the best option around as far as I can tell, but it's exciting that there are so many new cars coming out. An electric car doesn't quite work for me right now because of the limited charging options, but it seems like that's going to change rapidly.
Starting a few years ago industrial/automotive electronic manufacturers started heavily marketing stuff for electric cars and 'smart car' electronics. Before that the industry was slightly sleepy.
EV's mean a total rethinking of just about everything automotive.
