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?

    Some new ICE cars don’t even reliably get 300 miles. My partners new Honda Civic when filled to full only reads 265 on particularly bad stop-and-go traffic days. Even though it supposedly gets up to 350 in the city, or 400 on the highway.

    Having driven from Florida to Ohio in it, it definitely isn’t 400 between fill ups, maybe if we’re only doing 60mph, but considering the speed limit is 70 and everyone moves close to 80+, we didn’t see that. 300 was probably closer to what we saw, though we were getting a respectable 35+ mpg on the way up as a whole.
