Perhaps eventually, but first they need to make batteries cheaper, last longer (both range and through the years of charging and discharging) and be less damaging to the environment upon creation.
I like the concept of electric cars but they are still far too expensive for the average consumer and that is even with government subsidies. Take a look at Denmark they removed the government subsidies and electric car sales fell through the floor.
That's true, all of the points, but it seems when there is a major problem, someone will eventually find a solution. I'm a cyclist so I'm based as I have to breath the toxic stuff from the current cars on our road.. I'd prefer clean air. And products like these always start as expensive and not perfect but the trend has started.
Even having all cars with combined electric and petrol power working together would be better. In cities cars could run mainly with electric.
I'm a cyclist too, I didn't realise how many of us there are on steemit. I completely agree, sucking on exhaust pipes is possibly the worst part of my daily commute.
I think I'm more excited for when the electric motorbikes come down in price. For me that would be the most fun form of transportation.
