Fair, but that is precisely what is needed to put EVs on par with ICEs.
Simply put, the energy density of current tech battery packs needs to increase by a factor of 10 to equal gasoline.
The troubling thing for me is that there isn't a non-portable form of battery storage that can come close to competing with a combustible energy source.
The Tesla grid storage in Australia is looking hopeful, but it is little more than proof of concept at this stage.
