I personally think we'll eventually see swappable batteries but who knows. I also think that won't happen for like 25 years from now or more but I think that's a solution to the limitations of charging tech.
Who knows, for most people most of the time EV is a better choice. I know the way I normally use my car an EV would work fine as a replacement.
It'll be interesting to see how it all develops. I do wish we focused less on cars and more on better infrastructure for moving people around. I think cars are just inherently inefficient but since our societal infrastructure is heavily centered around them I think they're going to be around for awhile.
