Porsche are in the middle of building a new production line strictly for electric vehicles so they might know a thing or two about the market I reckon. Those who think EV's are not going to take over from the IC motor are living in dreamland. It won't happen tomorrow and it won't happen for all markets and purposes for a long time but it is going to happen eventually. This is an interesting video of the next Porsche EV, the interesting thing is the Porsche reps comments on EV's and that they accept the inevitability of it and also when they actually started to develop EV's

I’ve never said it won’t happen. Only it won’t be, like we have electric cars flooding our roads anytime soon. Make no mistake, that Ic engine will still be powering our cars for many years to come. I don’t consider hybrid an electric car, as it’s not, it’s a hybrid. First hybrid that was readily available Toyota Prius hit the showroom more than 20 years ago.

Unless the battery in the EV recharges within 10-15minutes, I can’t imagine how many charging stations we would need? Considering that it takes 5 minutes to refill the fuel tank and often there are ques at the petrol stations. Can you imagine EVs spending 1hour or more to get some charge in it

As I said, today’s car is very convenient, just fill up an go. After all, electric motor in the vehicles is as old as the IC engine and it was IC engine right up to now for convenience.
The car manufacturers need to sell and if market is not buying the EVs, how long can they go without profit?
I don’t think that the hybrids or EVs made today are bread and butter models for any car manufacturer?
