Me too, stoppingdown, I also suggest to check out other regions of the world, namely China. City of Shenzhen recently switched to buses which only run on electricity - no more diesels. The first had more batteries than space for passengers. 5 years later it's other way around.
We're talking about 14.000 buses:

The fact that some European leaders are either paid or slaves of the car industry (to exaggerate a little bit, but check out the relation of Volkswagen or BMW and local parliaments) and sooo afraid of going on, doesn't count much. China is already on the move, and if German car manufacturers don't deliver because they keep on demanding tax money for their R&D, then others will overtake them.
Besides, the Tesla leaves at 400km/h each Italian sportster far behind
until the next power plug is needed ....
