Fossil fuels are likely to play an enormous role in energy for at least the next 50 years. We'll almost certainly still be burning coal at that point, let alone getting rid of natural gas and liquid fuels. EVs need power and without massive transmission and distribution system upgrades if EVs achieve even 25% market saturation the physics don't work as-is. Generation is the easy part but the deeply unsexy real problem is moving that power around. Which is ironic because that problem has nearly exactly zero presence in the minds of politicians and the public. It's yet another example of what happens when complex engineering is turned into sound bites.
