That’s it. All my life, “smart” people would tell me that’s Solar power isn’t economically feasible, so we shouldn’t waste time on it, and I’d say it would become economically feasible if we spent real time on it.
Eventually, over all those years we’ve gotten to the point where it is literally the better choice in many ways, but we could have gotten there many years ago.
The motors were fine. It was advances in battery tech that made pure EVs viable. Really, hybrids should have been a thing a lot earlier. Series Hybrid tech has been moving trains, ships and industrial equipment for decades before the Prius(Parallel Hybrid) hit the market.
If we spent 100+ years focused on electric it would be better.

A lot of the tech powering electric cars was only invented recently
