Absent some revolutionary new technology, I suspect you may be right. Mind 
you, we have people who are quite happy to only be able to drive for only 
200 miles in an EV and wait several hours between re-charges. And suffer a 
*massive* deprecation on their 2nd biggest asset. *And* pay a fortune to 
have their old battery recycled. Fuggin' idiots.
