Reality is a cruel mistress.

The reality is that the picture you paint is a function of choice, not the "laws of physics." There is nothing wrong with EVs. On the contrary, it is a great technology. Stored electricity vehicles were destroyed as an industry in the first part of the 20th century by the PTB because of their desire to control energy consumption (economic manipulation) and to create the World Wars (gasoline is a lot better than electricity for wars). Thus they pushed "fossil fuels" (a misnomer) as the best energy solution for transportation because it gave them more control.

the batteries hold them back.

We don't need to create batteries the way we do. We don't need to use the materials we use. There is all sorts of tech that we choose not to use or explore (further develop). We don't even need to store our electric energy in a chemical battery at all. There are ALL SORTS of methods of storing electricity. You can even store it in gasoline, or hydrogen, or water, or biodiesel, or all sorts of other fuels. You can store it in spinning discs, which if done correctly, can provide excellent handling characteristics for cars. We have that technology and it is excellent, but we choose not to use it. The amount of ways we can use EV tech to make better transportation systems is staggering. We don't because it "isn't economically advantageous," but that's total bullshit, or only half the picture. It isn't economically advantageous because the PTB don't want it to be.

The mining is highly destructive to the land and they are mined with child labor.

The current EV tech is designed to exploit people. But so is the current gasoline tech. Indeed, it took a hundred years of slave labor in developing gasoline tech to get to the point where it's exploitative qualities are more well hidden than our EV tech. Any new disruptive industry goes through the "slave" stage. Gasoline went through it overtly before, and it is still going through it, just not in America. EVs are going through it in a more obvious way now, but only by choice.

Gasoline still is not what supporters of it suggest. Electric motivation is not "the devil" to gasolines "angel." They are both fubar, neither because they have to be, but because the PTB want them to be, on both counts. The exploitation is a feature not a bug.

That is the "Reality" of the situation. Pushing one side, or deriding the other, misses the Big Picture of the nature of our Reality: to wit, there are a lot of evil people that manipulate all sides of technology, and every conversation about it, to control the world.
