Right now it seems like its “A.I.”. Still big now are the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine. Recently we had COVID 19.

What’s next?

    You do realize most people charge at home? It doesn’t matter how long it takes when the car is just sitting there (you’ll even save time compared to driving to the gas station).

    Manufacturers also give 7+ years warranty on batteries by now, but even after 10 years a battery doesn’t just break, you only lose a few percent of range (if this wasn’t already calculated into the buffer, depends on the car).

    You do know EV sales stall because of that, right?

    In what fantasy world are you living? EVs just hit an all-times sales record last year. This is for the US, but it’s similar all over the world:

      You know people’s biggest limitation when purchasing is EV range compared to fossil fuel right?

      Last year? What year is it now?

        No, it’s not. Most people, even in the US, can easily use the range. You don’t go to a cross country roadtrip every day.

        You drive to work, go grocery shopping, drive home and that’s usually it. A range of 400km+ with new EVs is easily enough. Or do you drive to the gas station every 2 days with your current car?

        And even if you go on a roadtrip, after driving for 4 hours you might want to take a break anyway.

        You do realize there is no data available for the future? We aren’t there yet.
