Maybe I didn't put that quite right.
What I meant was the future that is often mentioned, in articles like this one, with statements like "There will be, for a long time to come, no alternative to the internal combustion engine...", and "Its definitely a bleak outlook for electric vehicles.". To me, that's sounds VERY pessimistic.
I agree with you that we should not put the investment into an electrical infrastructure right now for the EV of today. Getting back to my point that technology has a tendency to improve quite quickly once it gets started, and demand is created.
I would not try to convince anyone that today's EV will be going on cross country trips. I also wouldn't personally be able to use one now, as my round-trip for work is more than 100 miles if I make any deviations for errands.
