The main point is not the price though, it's the infrastructure and the fast obsolescence of batteries. There are no batteries currently that will last the life of a car, so what do you do when they quit ? Replace them, for what price ?
I might get an EV in 10 years or so, when there is a clear vision for infrastructure and battery technology.

I think it is price. Here I see cars with batteries that last well enough for 10+ years, and I'm confident that the price will drop over time if I keep one long enough to actually want to replace it. Along with all the other parts that wear out. Over here I think new car buyers won't tend to drive their cars into the ground, with cars on the road after 20 years generally having been purchased second hand. I don't know how the second hand market or resale value of EVs will look.
