I still think however that if we had vehicles with a 35 mile electric range in the 40s and the same development went into it as has done with ICEs then we could all have had personal EVs with 100 mile ranges for a could £k by now
I agree. But as always, it's worth remembering that while electric cars are undoubtedly more environmentally friendly at the point of use, and reduce carbon emissions overall, they are not really as much of a holy grail as they're being sold as nowadays. The winning strategy is still to go for micro mobility and public transport.

Supply and demand. Batteries weren't available because they weren't developed because people didn't want them.
I was just joking although I think most people are assholes regardless of transport methods.
It was just a passing thought in the first place which sparked my curiosity.
