Fast-charging stations for electric vehicles coming to Trans-Canada Highway

I think, 20 years from now, with the AGW Scam in widespread disrepute, there will still only by 1% of the cars on the road being electric.
They just can't compete with the practicality, efficiency, economy, performance and reliability of the internal combustion engine. In fact if all factors including energy production, disposal of batteries, environmental cost of component production it'll become obvious that electric cars are far more harmful to the environment than gas.. and it will be looked on as little more than a yuppie fad.
In fact the whole hybrid technology which is notoriously complex and unreliable will go with it. Then we can take the these economy depressing punitive taxes off gas.

AGW.. an ideological and political agenda without an ounce of scientific merit, ie. a Scam. A pseudo science.
The internal combustion engine is very complex with a huge number of wearing parts.

What's the life expectancy of the battery? Will the battery have to be replaced before it is neutral?
Oh I found this I answered my own questions
I guess it will never be Carbon neutral
Tesla batteries last 5 years? That means a gasoline car is still ahead in C02 emissions by 37% at the 5 year mark considering manufacturing a Tesla battery is equal to 8 years of driving a gasoline powered vehicle.
Is it? Have you factored in the energy used in the extraction and refining of oil and the building of internal combustion engines?
You also have to realize that the technology of the internal combustion engine has advanced about as far as it can. Modern batteries are far more efficient than those of a couple of decades ago and I expect they will continue to improve. After all, the first internal combustion engines were quite dirty and inefficient by today's standards and they improved. I see no reason why batteries cannot do the same, especially given the massive research into new types of batteries.
Have you ever noticed how technology is only expected to advance the troublesome areas like batteries and solar panels?
I guess it will never be Carbon neutral
...and that's why you go Hydrogen.
