[quote=AN][quote=earlyretirement]As well probably for 80% of all Americans, this has more than enough range for daily driving use right now but they will keep improving this technology.[/quote]Although current EV is sufficient for 80% of American in term of range, it’s definitely not sufficient in term of cost/range and longevity. Even the cheaper Tesla is only shooting for 200 miles range under ideal scenario. That definitely would be only sufficient for a 2nd car. No way you can make a road trip w/ it. You probably can’t even make it to LA and back under real life condition without need to charge.[/quote]
No argument here that they need to do a LOT of work. And I’m not saying that this will be overnight. I tend to think a decade or so out.
Also, I’ve found that products just cause us to change our daily routine as well. If you told me 20 years ago that I couldn’t make it a full day without charging my cellphone I would have laughed at you. LOL.
Anyway, I know at least in my case, we’ll switch over to all non-ICE’s as soon as I can.
