Oh, Jenna. Where do I start? In addition to all the other EV problems you point out, I have not heard or seen anyone answering this question. If we all go EV, what do we do with all the gasoline that will still be produced? Gasoline is a byproduct of refining oil for jet fuel and train engines and ship engines. Where will we store all that gasoline? Unless, of course, we're going to make solar powered planes (um, no thanks. i'll drive) or wind powered ships (wait. we've had those for millennia). The best we can do is make hybrids that use gas when it is most efficient to do so and electric when that works better. And damnit! Follow the green plants. Photosynthesis is the only process known to create more energy than it consumes. Somewhere in there is the key to real clean energy.
