Even 458 miles (737 kms) of highway EV driving at 70mph (112 km/h) is phenomenal. If this is coupled with a relatively fast charger infrastructure (150KW+) this means game over for fossil cars. When you can drive for 6 hours or more on a single charge there is absolutely no inconvenience factor in owning an EV at that point.

A lot of countries are still interested in fossil cars because they can slap their bullshit taxes on them and the gas, so I wouldn’t expect an instant transition, as it’s going to severely impact lobby-backed revenue streams

Most countries once EV's are cheaper than gasoline and diesel cars are going to outright ban gasoline and diesel cars so they don't have to import oil and pay for it in dollars.
