I think they will be the future of cars (...the cars of the future), because they are cleaner and relatively easy to drive. With a lower cost of power recharge, they are also easily accepted by consumers. In China, there has been a support policy where you can get a free license plate if you buy an electric car for several years #. This is an incentive to (help) promote the sales of electric vehicles. Tesla also built their new factory in China to take advantage of this trend. But as a driver, I feel there are still some aspects that needs to be improved for the electric car market. With limited driving range and limited charging points, electric vehicles can only be safely used for travel within relatively short distances. The situation can be worse if there is an unexpected traffic jam or cold weather. So I think electric cars are a great invention of this era, but I am expecting a technology upgrade in the future that maximizes the storage capacity of electric vehicles' batteries (which in turn increases their driving range). # I'm not sure what you mean by "buy an electric car for several years." I could not correct this part.
