Right so all you have to do is find ways to make peolpe want
electric
cars

Not even possible, they have so many downsides.

So you reduce or eliminate the downsides that's the point isn't it.
Such things as less tax, cheap charging, no congestion charge.

The problem is their ****ty range, and the cost of replacing the
battery.

And their even ****tier range in the depths of winter
when anyone but a fool in an electric car has the heater on.

Moving the vehicle uses way more than the heater.

Sure, but using the heater really ****s the already ****ed range in winter.

Think of a car engine, how many horsepower? Now convert that into kW and
compare it with say a 3kW heater for the interior.
