There is a place for EV cars for those that want them in major cities, but the adoption rate is collapsing. It's not because people don't want clean energy, it's just they are not practical for 90% of the US population in 2024. 2124 might be a different story, but the technology won't be roaming around parking lots looking for charging stations. By then one would assume cars would be like traveling by horse, something will replace it, most likely air travel. There are many studies going on getting planes right up between the earth's atmosphere and space and let gravity move you 2000 miles in an hour. Not around the corner, but give it 50 years. We will all be dead by then, but our kids will benefit, except the childless cat ladies.
