Implement progressive report generation for comprehensive detail level reports. This adds a new ProgressiveReportSynthesizer class that extends ReportSynthesizer to implement an iterative refinement approach for very large document collections. The implementation includes chunk prioritization, state management, termination conditions, and progress tracking.

In the long run, EVs are often cheaper to maintain due to fewer moving parts and the increasing efficiency of battery technology.
+        
+        The first practical production EVs were produced in the 1880s. However, internal combustion engines were preferred for road vehicles for most of the 20th century.

+        The environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs) is a complex topic that requires consideration of multiple factors. While EVs produce zero direct emissions, their overall environmental impact depends on how the electricity used to charge them is generated.

+        
+        Life cycle assessments show that EVs typically have a higher environmental impact during manufacturing, primarily due to battery production, but this is usually offset by lower emissions during operation.

+        The total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis shows that EVs can be economically competitive or even advantageous over the vehicle's lifetime, especially in regions with high fuel prices or significant incentives for EV adoption. Factors affecting TCO include:

+        Electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure refers to the charging stations, grid capacity, and supporting systems necessary for widespread EV adoption. The availability and accessibility of charging infrastructure is a critical factor in EV adoption rates.
+        
+        Charging infrastructure can be categorized into three main types:
+        
+        1. Level 1 (120V AC): Standard household outlet, providing about 2-5 miles of range per hour of charging
+        2. Level 2 (240V AC): Dedicated charging station providing about 10-30 miles of range per hour
+        3. DC Fast Charging: High-powered stations providing 60-80% charge in 20-30 minutes
+        
+        The development of EV infrastructure faces several challenges, including:
+        
+        - High installation costs, particularly for fast-charging stations
+        - Grid capacity constraints in areas with high EV adoption
+        - Standardization of charging connectors and protocols
+        - Equitable distribution of charging infrastructure
+        
+        Government initiatives, utility programs, and private investments are all contributing to the expansion of EV charging infrastructure globally.

+        The electric vehicle (EV) market is rapidly evolving, with several key trends shaping its future:
+        
+        1. Increasing range: Newer EV models are offering ranges exceeding 300 miles on a single charge, addressing one of the primary concerns of potential adopters.
+        
+        2. Decreasing battery costs: Battery costs have declined by approximately 85% since 2010, making EVs increasingly cost-competitive with conventional vehicles.
+        
+        3. Autonomous driving features: Many EVs are at the forefront of autonomous driving technology, with features like advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) becoming more common.
+        
+        4. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology: This allows EVs to not only consume electricity but also return it to the grid during peak demand, potentially creating new economic opportunities for EV owners.
+        
+        5. Wireless charging: Development of inductive charging technology could eliminate the need for physical connections to charge EVs.
+        
+        6. Integration with renewable energy: Synergies between EVs and renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are being explored to create more sustainable transportation systems.
+        
+        These trends suggest that EVs will continue to gain market share and could potentially become the dominant form of personal transportation in many markets within the next few decades.
