I worked in a technical field
I worked in a technical field all my adult life. I can state that the technology for electric vehicles is there. The biggest thing holding legacy auto manufacturers from following the electric route is their huge investment in ICE engines. Tesla has solid state batteries, as do Toyota and other auto makers. Time and again it's been stated Electric vehicles are simple to make compared to Ice vehicles. As for their carbon footprint. Anyone with a logical mind can easily see an electric vehicle has a much smaller carbon footprint.
