I gave up reading car articles by leftists who aren't even as old as most of the shirts in my closet and were 'educated' at a university. Morons.

As old as ICE? Nope. Quite a bit older actually. You're right about more EVs on the road than Steam, and eventually ICE. Of course ICE was way more convenient and it beat both EV and Steam to hell and back again.
Laptop EVs are a nice first attempt at a modern reinterpretation, but ultimately, real people (not religious assholes) want to fill er up in 5 minutes, not 5 hours. Thus, GM just joined Honda for their hydrogen powered EV car, the Clarity. Top Gear's hosts announced that it is the real solution about 15 years ago, and they were correct. Hybrids are the best compromise for now, while countries decide if they wish to install hydrogen filling stations like Honda has done in California. Bottom line, if we can fill er up in 5 minutes.......it'll likely gain acceptance with the masses. If not.......**** off.
