You cited the opinion by one engineer, 15 yers old. I don't doubt his professionalism but it however a single point of view about what is a mere technical difficulty about move to EV. Call EV a "scam" implies your are demonizing all the people and the ideas about it, that is quite bold. It surely has his problems, like organize the distribution, the productive process and the wasting management, but they are not so different from the tecnology we use daily. I would try to have a more positive, even if critic, attitude. I will search and read more about this, thanks for the hint!
Note: I own a petrol car and I'm not in hurry to buy an EV. If I could I would move only by bicycle and public transports :)
