Next generation (2025, 2026+) BEVs will be the tipping point for the auto industry.
When BEVs have 500 mile+ per charge capacity, charging infrastructure becomes abundant, and 350kW+ charging is ubiquitous (<15 min recharges), there will no longer be any value proposition for ICEs whatsoever (outside of hobbyists).
Amazing how fast the change is happening.
Agree or disagree?
Have you seen what we buy in the USA? You’ve just defined the most popular type of vehicle here, “silly & completely arbitrary”. Look at the size & expense of our pickup trucks.
Seriously, though, people will make their decision on a $50k+ vehicle on the road trips they take less than 4 times a year. If an EV doesn’t handle those longer trips with the same ease as gasoline, they’re going to get held back.
