I agree with that. There are people building them in their garages because companies don't want to take a risk that will pay off in the long term.
And the battery technology isn't quite there yet. But CPUs weren't all that good until the 2000 time frame.
The issue is that gasoline prices go down and it kills the whole scene. If we had to pay for all the tax dollars we spend getting and securing oil fields around the world in the price of a gallon of gas, we might see a bigger EV adoption rate.
