Soon No

- Costs are high
- Infrastructure is weak. (Can you find a EV Station as easy as gas station?)
- charging takes way too long.
- range is not there

Until a massive leap in battery technology is announced tomorrow, it is not soon.

This is the biggest oversight I see with the green arguments. Battery technology just is bot there to be easy and available as gas/oil. Not by a long shot.
