What exactly makes it seem impossible? I can already drive from one end of my state to the other in an EV; charging stations are fairly ubiquitous here in all but the most rural of areas. If there's a will, there's a way...
With the first successful internal combustion engine dating back to around 1859 to the present day,petroleum is pretty much what the world runs on. None of us here will ever see the end of petroleum in our lifetimes. As big as Texas is,I wouldn't be able to make it from my house to my best friend's house in an electric vehicle under a single charge.
