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?
I struggled with this for a long time till I settled on hybrids for my needs. I drive 7k miles a year and in all my calculations, with gas prices in my area (currently $2.54/gal), and electricity prices, and my math said I’d need to drive 15k or more a year to save any money in fuel. The upfront costs of an EV vs hybrid or ICE is also a factor for me too, and not everyone qualifies for the tax credit either.
