This position holds that the future of transport is electric, but only in a limited way. It argues that persistent range and cost problems — and the complexity of building out charging networks — will confine electric vehicles mainly to local travel rather than every journey.
Electric mobility will not occur on a large scale
This position holds that electric mobility will not happen on a large scale. It argues that several factors will limit the spread of electric cars — the environmental costs of producing them, a shortage of the electrical resources and infrastructure required, and the economic expense involved.
