In brief
A follow-up after readers' reactions: the author answers the most common EV myths (range, charging time, charger prices, grid, winter, used cars, subsidies), estimates the oil demand already displaced (2.5–3 mb/d) and explains the "roar" against EVs by a $2.1 trillion-a-year oil market. In the long run EVs will dominate because of China, and hydrogen cars have no future.
