If there's a usecase that electric is truly not suitable for at 2035 or even 2040. Then it will be hydrogen or a PHEV with shitty electric range.
You think all those new phevs will be charged literally every trip? Nah it won't, people are too lazy for that. If the vastly improved electric in 2035 isn't good enough then a small ass battery phev won't do shit either.
Charged overnight most PHEV's have plenty of range for the average person's daily commute and there's really no reason range can't be improved. That's a huge reduction in emissions.
If they can be charged overnight, sounds great for an EV usecase then. Americans aren't commuting 300 miles a day.
What???
