We're doing the same thing as we did with ICE cars. We're ignoring all the drawbacks and telling ourselves we'll find hypothetical solutions sometimes in the future. We're basically green washing the entire auto industry: "shhh don't worry it's electric, now buy our $50k car and tell your friends you're saving the planet"
When the average driver does like 30km per day all you need is some kind of hybrid car with a small but efficient gas engine. 90% of your travel will be fully electric, the occasional road trip would use gas (which would be expensive but something the average user doesn't need more than a few times a year)
But I guess it's more marketable to sell AWD, 600+ HP, three tonnes lithium monsters than glorified priuses. This industry is fucked up and doesn't care one bit about sustainability.
