You are talking about a technology that is dependent upon batteries, rare earth minerals, planet destroying sourcing operations, huge expense, vicious international competition and politicization. By the way, how you gonna recycle that pretty little Tesla battery? 
Sports cars for me are all about power-to-weight. Have you noticed that EV batteries are kinda heavy? Until they invent an EV battery that is the size of an iPhone battery, I'm not interested. |
Gonna play devil's advocate by saying the bolded part applies just as much (if not more) to fossil fuel production.
And unlike battery elements that have a shot at being recycled, it's hard to recycle burnt fuel so you must keep making more.
On the weight part, well we're living in a world where an M3 weighs 4 000lbs in its lightest variant, so I'd say that ship sailed some time ago.
