That answers a different question, not the one I asked. If Tinrodi thinks batteries are affordable, why are electric cars not, without massive subsidies? Like, look at this:

A little econobox, for $34,000. No one is buying that car for $34,000 dollars. It's a $15,000 car. Which is why they have "$14,000 in incentives". Unless, as I suggest, the batteries are still to expensive to make it attractive to buyers on its own?

Look, I'm pointing out very specific issues with batteries, not with electric vehicles, and not with what is inevitably coming with a transition to electric. Is your view really that things are ok, and if car manufacturers just decided to make more electric vehicles, it would all work out? Because the facts really say otherwise.
