How to make the Electric Vehicles a success story, again.

That one is easy, all you need is to beat the piston engines cars at their own game,just like the piston engine cars did when they took over the market from electric cars a century or two ago.

So what made them piston engine so popular? Was it that they were working on internal explosions using liquefied dinosaurs to produce horses (HP)

Not really, it was mostly due to several factors.
-Price was lower, I mean so much lower, some 10% of an electric car of equal capacity.
-Range was bigger, I mean huge in comparison, an electric car was dead in 30KM than it took a night to recharge, the dynosaurus liquefied horses instead could go 300Km with one tank, refilable in 20 minutes.
- Cars were simple to mantain, you neded nearly no education, just a few days with a friend that knew how to trim a carburateur, adjust the steering or the brakes, and for life you were master of your own vehicle. But for the electric ones the battery.... now that was an issue to learn how to understand it.
-If your fuel tank went bad, pierced, rusted, got stolen, etc, the cost to replace it was maybe worth one or two days of salary, and the skills to replace it... not needed any. To replace the battery instead you had to buy them for a few month, maybe 6 or 12 months worth of salary, and they were heavy, so replacing them was not easy.
- not to ignore weight, a liqefied dynosaurs powered car was half the weight of a battery powered one, so for the same air pressure in your tires, you could carry more cargo without popping them with too much weight.

But today electric cars are damn complicated,
-have multiple layers of lines of codes in various computers on board to keep it from going bizark,
-they catch fire out of the blue,
-explode with you inside,
-release toxic fumes in the process so that if the fire does not cook you crisp, or the explosion does not send you stright to heaven, you die regardless, from fumes poisoning in seconds.
-and if your battery goes bust it will cost you the money of TWO piston cars brand new just to change that
-not to mention the Electric Vehicle itself costs to buy like a villa
-takes hours to recharge the battery
-and it lasts you on the roads less time than it took to recharge
-They are heavy like a bulldozer
-and their maintennance... you need a few doctorates in engineering, electronics, computer coding and hacking to keep up with owning an EV.

So to make the Electric Vehicles a success story again, I identify here several simple solutions:

-The acquision cost should be less than 10.000 Euro for the base model, no extras, no luxuries, capable to take 5 pasengers and their lagguage.
-The replacement battery should cost including the batteries themselves less than 500 Euro
-The battery lifetime should be minimum 10.000 discharge and recharge cycles
-Batteries recharging time less than 30 minutes from zero to full
-Bateries should not weight more than 50Kg alltogehter
-Batteries should be safe, no catching fire under any conditions, including throwing a hand greande at them, no explosions, no toxicity released.
-Maintnenance should be doable by any teenager after hanging aroung a friend that knows how to fix it for a weeks or two tops.
-Computerwise, it should have none as a base model, should run analog entirely. Computers for geeks only.

Do that and I guarantee you nobody will ever want to drive with a dead dynosaur liquefied under their seats, trust me.
