Most agree that electric cars are not there yet.
Early adopters have to contend with lithium-ion batteries, where lithium is in short supply (and often mined by children), limited range, high prices and long charging times.
If ranges were significantly improved, charging would be needed less often. Also price puts many off currently. One answer that always seems to be "just around the corner" are solid state batteries. These promise greater ranges, lower prices and no rare materials.
These seem nearly there, but not quite. With all the research it is likely this will come, but when?
