It will take a long time to ramp up battery production to the level it will take to replace gas and diesel.

It also will take a while to speed up battery charging times to the point I can get the battery charged to 400mi range in the same 3-5 minutes I can get my gasoline tank filled to that 400mi range. Or to tweak the engineering (and EV construction/assembly paradigms) so that those charging stations can simply swap out battery packs in the same amount of time some oil change stations are bragging about achieving. I have better things to do with my time than sitting around at a charging station for 30 minutes--or even 15 minutes.

It'll also take quite a while to get our electricity distribution grid upgraded and built out to be able to handle the electricity load of all those chargers charging.
