I'm glad they're focusing on battery technology. If that doesn't improve, then EVs are just a wild dream.

Battery technology is already here, now it's just a matter of making it cheap and viable for widespread use. Toyota and Nissan have already been partnered up with their technology partners to put out a proper battery. If we consider the progress of technology in general, I think we can expect a cheap system within a few years. A lot sooner than a cheap Hydrogen infrastructure. Ultimately, politics will determine which wins.
