Can the US reach the climate target of 50 million EVs by 2030? Unlikely without emissions regulations or an outright ban of EVs.
As EV fast charging infrastructure gets built out and 200 miles of range can be added in ~20 minutes, then range and charging concerns become secondary to vehicle cost. In the near term, offering shorter-range EVs to 2 or more car households at a lower price point might be one of the key approaches to significantly increasing EV sales in the US.

What is it going to take for electric vehicles (EVs) to reach mainstream consumer adoption in the US? Here are the 6 most important factors from the perspective of the car-buyer consumer.
Range, cost competitiveness and availability of charging stations remain the top barriers to EV adoption, according to recently released survey results from Volvo Car USA/The Harris Poll.
