Plus natural gas is abundant, SUV could have a small turbine that runs on LP and the turbine charges the batteries of the EV. They are testing them on trucks. Distance would be greatly extended as you could charge battery from home and switch to LP on long trips.
The future I believe will have more options, not less. The price of these things, well who knows, but we will see.

that's maybe the most peculiar thing. LP conversions are barely exist right now, and get almost zero press, despite the fact that most ICE vehicles can be immediately converted with minimal hardware, and there's already a stable storage solution that exists in numbers greater than EV chargers across the country. most people seem to cite the conversion cost as prohibitive...
yes, LP isn't as clean as hydrogen and ev, but it's cleaner than gas. despite the fact that it is an oil derivative. people seem to be pushing for immediate monumental gains instead of incremental gains. which makes sense given the human race...
