That was never a goal, just an engineering limitation. If someone builds a 2000 mile EV it's still an EV and nobody is going to shout that it has too much range.
True, but mandating a switch to EVs is certainly not an engineering limitation.
It appears to be an engineering limitation, if the engineering problem is "how does human society survive into the next century, given climate constraints".
Perhaps hydrogen cars is a theoretical alternative, but they just don't seem to play out.
If it's that bad, we should stop nibbling around the edges of the problem with complex and wasteful solutions that make a few percentage points difference, and just ban cars.
