1. I don't think we are at the all EV place yet.

The batteries do have their own environmental issues. Charging stations are a huge issue. There are some fire danger problems with the battery chargers in homes. The infrastructure needed to re-tool rural America is an overwhelming task. It's also going to render a lot of usable vehicles obsolete. And batteries can drain in cold weather or have big problems in the heat, so people can get stranded with no recharging options.

I really think hybrids are the bridge option.
