As an engineer, I do NOT believe EVs can ever be viable. The thermodynamics doesn't work. The supply chains do not work for either energy or manufacturing.
I will never buy an EV because of the engineering analysis of this.

My conclusion is there's a lot of wishful thinking around EVs, although I agree that eventually EVs will be most of the market.

10.0 for viability.
