And also, is one direction the answer?

How to use «Shortcomings» in context?
of electric cars
Electric cars have a long history of beingpromisedbut yet never delivered on the level that their proponents would like people to believe. There are numerous reasons why electric cars have yet to take off in a major way- the biggest of which is that they simply don’t have the range to be viable as a full-time transportation option.
The other big flaw with electric cars is that they’re still expensive to maintain. Whether it’s the cost of replacement batteries or the installation of specialized charging infrastructure, electric cars are far more expensive to operate than their gasoline counterparts.
