For me the problem with electric is the waste generated by the used up batteries. And the fact you still have to make the power, generate the electricity, someplace. The grid is already way over loaded, adding all of the additional load for charging transportation needs to be addressed.

I fear we are putting all of the eggs in one basket with the rush to electric transportation. It is reported that 5 to 6% of the generated electrical power is lost in the transmission system. While I have no evidence other than the laws of physics, I have to believe that percentage of loss rises dramatically in the distribution system. where in distribution, there are many more places for power loss including; switch gear, transformers, connections, "leakage" to ground.

Electric is cool, I just hope we have our eyes on other even more effective solutions.
