Someone once said
"The Stone Age didn’t end for lack of stone, and the oil age will end long before the world runs out of oil."

Battery technology has been improving, but it's unlikely to ever overcome the energy density of petrol, so the weight issue will plague EVs for a long long time... perhaps being solved when motor efficiency improves too.

People have the issue of range anxiety, mostly due to the perceived lack of public charging points and the long time it takes to charge batteries, when compared with the ubiquitous petrol stations and the 2 minutes it takes to fill up a tank. Fix these two issues and EV adoption will skyrocket.

There are those who enjoy the feeling of driving an ICE car, but for most of us who just want to get from point A to B they're just clucky in comparison with EVs. gearbox? clutch? lubricant? radiator?  

There was a time when I enjoyed red meat a lot and I used to light my cigarette over dinner. Back then that was the normal thing to do. Today we know that a vegetable-rich diet is more appropriate if you intend to keep living until your 90’s. We also know for sure that cigarettes are worse than alcohol and/or things like marijuana in many ways.
 
It’s not that I was perfectly comfortable with these changes. It’s just that I don’t have another body.
