China is patenting a battery right now that is not affected by heat or cold-or affected very little.
Yeah your circle of friends say they will not buy one but once they drive one and the kinks get worked out they will and prices for ev's are coming don, range is going up every year.
My dad built spec homes. He remembers when air nailers first came out. All the construction guys said they would never replace the hammer, too bulky, dragging along an air hose etc.
Eventually. But the market should decide, not inept bureaucrats.
Cordless drills have been around since at least the 70's. They were crap. Anyone remember nickel-cadmium batteries??? It took about 25 years for them to mature to the point of being a useful tool for regular use.
I suggest you rent a Tesla and take a trip from coast to coast and see how it goes... It will add a lot of time to your trip and require considerable planning. If you're retired, great. If you work for a living, not so good. If you do it in the winter in the northern part of the country it could take you a LONG time if you make it at all.
