Something that comes to mind - if I am not mistaken - the original automobiles WERE battery operated. And some of them, even as long ago as the 1800's, did have batteries that could be recharged. I think they might have been like our regular ICE car batteries.

Well, why didn't they stay that way? Probably for the reasons people don't want them now. People needed power, speed, and a host of other features that a simple battery driven CART wasn't going to provide.

When they make an EV that can be fully charged in MINUTES - and I mean, like, two or three minutes - THEN they're worth considering.

Same reason that early fuel injection got a bad name. The computer controls to make it usable, simply weren't there.

IIRC, they didn't buy good ones.

And they still didn't buy a good vehicle.

By all accounts, including Jim Farley, getting a good one from them is a major issue.
