The reason we use gasoline is twofold :
First, because gasoline is the leftover after getting diesel - literally, the main reason for pumping out oil is to get diesel. Heavy industry runs on diesel. An economy runs on heavy industry. Cars are an afterthought. But once you get the diesel, what do you do with the gasoline? Cars solve that problem.
Second, having energy in the form of a compact, pumpable liquid is kinda miraculous. Imagine a world where electric cars are invented first (this is actually just reality) and we only ever had electric cars for transportation. Then, one day, someone invents a way to put all that energy into a liquid and transport the liquid in a stable state. That would be revolutionary. That would be a huge advance in technology.
People associate EVs with autonomous driving. This is an illusion. Autonomous driving has nothing to to with the kind of engine used. You can just as easily put it on a car with an ICE.
So what are the actual advantages of an EV? Well, you can remotely control them so that they run off the road and crash at full speed. Modern cars make assassination easier.
Don't be a dupe.
