You introduced both EV and BEV in the same paragraph, and my point was that the EV part was not the problem. The problem is the lack of energy density, and batteries aren't the only way to power an EV. There are hydrogen EVs, for instance.

Not mentioned, but probably the best solution would be PHEV or hybrid, especially for the long hauling scenarios.

You're still entirely wrong about your 2nd paragraph, which you provided no defense for.
