At the end of the day the advancements are not happening fast enough to drive costs down fast enough.

This is an observation. I suspect that battery technology will advance way beyond what we have, and not too far off, say, 5 years. Batteries don't have to advance much from where they are now to cover what's desired. That isn't the bigger problem of beating gasoline (artificially raising the price of gasoline won't do it). Driving costs down is more of a combined scale of production and labor cost problem.

The competition to EV is not sleeping.

There are no economies left there except marginal ones. Probably, asymptotically in scale and labor cost, it comes down to preference. I'd prefer to drive an EV because then I'm not generating exhaust gases.
