  1. Make the cars cheaper
  2. Make replacement batteries (accident or age) not $20k
  3. Make promises that future kW and charging fees won't surpass what the norms were for gasoline

  1. done

  2. never going to happen. A new headlamp assembly costs $500. Car companies will always rip you off on replacement parts.

  3. get some solar panels for your house and you can make that guarantee yourself.

  1. Assuming you have a parking space right outside your home.

There are plenty of places that it is not possible at all to have your car directly outside your home - terrace housing, flats, houses by main roads. Even some cul-de-sac type housing is just a general free-for-all on spaces.

As for #2, I believe NIO has swappable batteries, so you don't have to worry about that. It's also one of the options for charging the battery (battery swapping stations take 3-6 minutes for a full charge and is fully automized).
