If you are a long-distance commuter, or a traveling salesman, then
nope, not a great idea. But if you're an urban commuter going 100
to 200 miles round trip per day, it might be an entirely different
answer.
And yes. lithium disposal might be a problem. Today. On the other
hand, there might already be a good way to recycle the lithium
from old batteries. Tomorrow, or next year, or a decade from now,
we might be using an entirely different storage medium. Sulfur anyone?

First, I think electric is great for those it works for. It just
won't work out here in west Texas. Second, if less pollution is
the reason I guess the pollution of the battery pack isn't
considered? I have to think that would be a pretty significant
deal. I don't know how much but I have to dispose of LiIon
batteries every day to some special center. No idea why but I
guess lithium in Jaimie's whater isn't appreciated like it used
to be. I would think that for places with heavy urban traffic and
lots of traffic jams they would be ideal. NY, Chicago, DC, etc.

And which type of vehicle is best in a post-apocalyptic
world? I don’t see electric vehicles in Mad Max movies
(except for the guitar guy who obviously has some form of
electric power available). The best solution would seem to
be the Mr. Fusion powered DeLorean from Back to the Future.
We will never run out of garbage.

I would imagine that if we were designing cars from scratch
today, using a combustion engine definitely wouldn't be the
choice. I can imagine the outcry if the infrastructure plan
for new vehicles was to ship explosive fuel all around the
country, to power vehicles that will emit huge amounts of
pollution versus having charging stations everywhere.

we found out Texas was made out of oil and the economic

I honestly wouldn't get in line for one today. Tesla has
never been "on time", but they make decent cars when they
cost around $100 grand. When they're "giving them away" for
$35,000, it may be a whole new ballgame.
But the arguments for an electric car are getting better
day by day. In 18 months or so, they may tip over to the
point of working for a majority of buyers. I can wait until
then to see how it works out.

Coal? Mine is mostly nuclear. I'd imagine for others
it may be mostly hydro.

Coal and oil are kind of the same source for energy.

But you don’t. That is the point. I have a
charger at home and at work and at my other
work. 3-5 seconds. None if you have a
passenger do it for you...

You still have most of those hassles with
electric. You still have them all if you're
not at a free charging location.

Time it. You will be surprised. 5 minutes.
Gotta drive in, park, get out, gas cap off,
swipe card, wait for authentication, select
fuel, wait for beep, put hose in, pull
trigger. Wait a couple of minutes, reverse all
of the above, stand in rain, snow gas fumes,
noise.
From the moment you leave the street to being
back on the street 5 minutes.
And it costs you money!
I charge with solar.

We drive past gas stations every day. It's
what, 2 minutes?
If you travel >200 miles your time table is
screwed as you need to charge. Your route
also can't be the scenic one.
It costs more than my current car which I have
today and I doubt it comes close in terms of
comfort.
Oh and the auto pilot doesn't try to hit
oncoming traffic. That's a nice upside!
