We are probably 20-30 years away from the initial stage of the electric revolution. These are very primitive, ugly and inefficient tech concepts.

The battery tech impacts not only cars but other industries as well such as aerospace.

I don't think we're any near that far from seeing electric cars being more common IMO. 20 years is an absolute eternity when you consider the fact that just 10 years ago, they didn't even really exist. Now every big player is dumping a lot of resources into bringing them to the market.

I take everything Tesla says with a giant spoon of salt because they are well known to miss their own targets, but their goal is to release a $25k car within 3 years. Personally, I think they'll miss their deadline as usual, but I would certainly think that could be done within 10 years.

I do agree though, sub $30k electric cars are more interesting to me than $150k+ electric cars at the moment.
