Sales of electric cars accelerated last year, but the availability of critical raw materials such as lithium risked slowing the sector's growth, a report warned Monday.
At 6.6 million last year, electric vehicles sales more than doubled, and they now account for one in 10 new cars sold, according to the International Energy Agency's annual report on the sector.

With the current crop of electric vehicles, there's not one I'd buy. However, when battery/storage issues advance, I could see it happening. I'd want a 4x4 with heat in all the right places to combat our Winters. And, I shouldn't have to buy all the bells and whistles to get it.

Range is a real issue with me---and the published range drops dramatically when the weather turns cold.

Yeah, that's my issue, Dave. I'd want the range to at least get me down to St. George during the Winter. At this rate, I think I'll be waiting 5 to 10 years to see that happen.

I'm embarrassed to say I can't recognize one car from another unless I see a nameplate...I'm not sure whether I've ever seen a Tesla...They all look alike...Originally Posted by Phillbo
