They probably already have it.
It just takes years to adjust to how they are gonna make a profit off it. Can't just dump oil without the transition time needed. No one is going to do an instant change from making Billions a month to any new technology. |

I think EVs are great for some applications: city driving, mostly. For hauling and interstate travelling, good ol' internal combustion is still the best.

^ My bicycle batteries temporarily loose around 25-30% of the range they provide duringn autumn and spring and summer. And winter means modest German weather, temps around zero and up to almost 10°C in my place. In "winter".
And the joy when people wamnt to resell their ecars after some years. The loss of value will hit them in the face with a brickstone. Again, thats due to the constantly degrading battery. Even at optimal workigjn cidntions, or not even charged and uncharged at all, it slowly degrades over time. Replacing the battery in sch cars is not economic and not cost-efficient. The way they think e-cars, simply is a dud, and is thought in ignorrance of the laws of physcis and chemistry. New battery types despite all talk and hyping, are at least ten years or more away. Until then it will be Lithium, and Lithium alone. Its like with these flying cars and autonomous driving. Endless hypign, endless tlaking. Technically possible but delayed and delayed due to the devil hiding in the details.

Tesla officially claims the range is 513 km, the driver killed the battery from 100% to 0% and did not drive aggressively. He reached 243km range.
I would want neither a Tesla nor any other electric car. Especially if I have to pay fantasy prices for such a nonsense gadget. I would not even want an ecar for inner city business, the whole idea of having to spend so much time and paying so much attention just to get "fuel in the tank" in time, and then having to mimimi-nurse it during driving just to not die right on the street with 0%, is hilarious imo. And just for the city these cars are way too expensive. Nevertheless the EU works on legislation that makes it illegal to own an old fossile car beyond the year 2035 or so. They want to force people to hand their old gasoline-run cars over by then. That was so far a taboo. Now its being tried to turn it into a reality. However I think the concept is so obviously a dud that the whole project of enforcing e-cars sooner or later will and must collapse. It just will not work the way the supersmarties have figured it out.

The idea of electric cars has mostly been scrapped over here in Australia, never caught on. Also it seems that is is uneconomical due mostly for battery costs and disposal.
