Never has been, and never will be, and the manufactures know it.

Agreed.

There have been massive advances in battery technology in the last 30 years, I used to have to carry something the size of a car battery to power my surveying kit 35 years ago, now it's the size of a fag packet, but to pack the power density you need to run a credible road vehicle isn't going to happen any time soon.

As for the 'green' side, look at the environmental disaster that is lithium mining...
