The whole climate change nutter stigma around going electric will be a hurdle to get over.

lithium-ion based EVs are never going to be green. In order to make the EV business truly green and sustainable, we would need to switch to rechargeable and recyclable metal-free organic batteries. However, we are still 20-30 years away from that technology being truly scalable and commercializable. Lithium-ion batteries are NOT the environmentally friendly solution Elon Musk and Co want you to believe.
