The battery is the single most fragile, heavy, dangerous, expensive, stressful ("range anxiety") and annoying component of an EV, and one which degrades at an alarming rate, just by using it normally.

Guess what, a fuel tank doesn't shrink every time you fill it.

And it doesn't shrink even FASTER when you fill it to the top.

Or let it go empty.

Or run in cold weather.

Or hot weather.

Or you drive fast.

Or too slow.

Or when you fill the tank too fast. Where "too fast" is dripping it in for 30 to 60 minutes a pop.

Or when you don't drive the car for too long.

On top of that, the starting range of the top BEV is half an ICE car. That's on a new car, before all the magical "shrinking" happens.

Batteries are WORSE than anything the automobile industry has from the past 50+ years. And people are slowly realizing that.
