Charging station price is a major part of what matters, Stu, since we are talking about overall cost of charging. Electrical price increases are outstripping gasoline already and if you take seriously the WSJ article, that will only get worse as we try to move to even just 30% of the miles traveled to EV transport.

As for range- none of the Teslas actually come close today when you test under ordinary driving conditions. The quoted ranges for the Teslas are under the most ideal driving conditions- there is far more variance in actual performance for the EVs than there is for an ICE vehicles, and the EVs always perform worse than claimed.

"Charging station price is a major part of what matters, Stu, since we are talking about overall cost of charging.“

No. The vast majority of passenger vehicle miles can be driven on a single charge and overnight recharge.

ICE range is worse than advertised too. Yes, EV range varies more than ICE.

A guess on future electric prices has more uncertainty than EV range. Regardless, I don't see 30% of miles traveled being electric happening anywhere near 2030.
