They also have to be price competitive. I'm convinced they will be much cheaper than ICE cars eventually. Engines, transmissions, etc. are very complicated things. We've just gotten incredibly good at making them.

Yes, that's why I said early to mid 2030s: extrapolating current trends, that's when a 200kWh battery will cost $US 10k-15k.
