Until the infrastructure with a robust electric grid to support home-charging, and ubiquitous public-charging becomes a fact, EVs will not be a viable proposition.

Case in point: the current cold-weather is showing up the problems of not having enough public charging stations.

If the technology and infrastructure stays the same as it is now, the problem will never get fixed.

Yet, every year there are more charging stations, and the battery tech gets getting better, so I don't see stagnation winning out here.

Things will improve, no doubt. But we are now getting into the 'Trough of Disillusionment'* with EVs where people start to become much more realistic about the benefits or otherwise of EVs.
