No matter how much you wish it to be so, the EVs are a waste
of money and time and effort.
EVs will NEVER be energy-efficient, nor cost-efficient. And, the analogy to smartphones is still delusional.
Smartphones never depended upon government funding to be made better and faster and more usable. EVs still depend upon government subsidizing, and they're still a big waste or valuable government resources, mostly our money.
No government money was ever needed to invent the phone, nor to improve it to the point it's at now. So, the analogy is still pure garbage.
