A smart phone offered a 2nd function to the already existing cell phone. An EV doesn't offer a transport platform any significant function to the established platform.
combining a laptop with a cell phone to make a smart phone was a revolution.
combining a vehicle with technology, well that happens in all propulsion systems available, where is the revolution for the use-case of vehicles?
The very first vehicles were electrics and steam powered. Then gasoline revolutionized things. The core function remained the same : moving people from A to Z, it just added to range, fuel availability, and platform efficiency < that was the revolutionary part.
The EV platform is presently only adding platform efficiency, and at great cost to range and fuel availability.
