It is a question more intended for the people that plan to keep his cars for more then 10 years.

If you follow the news, there’s a lot of things that will separate the EV from 2027 (+/- give it or take a year) to the early generations.

From common diagnostic tools, new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries, more standardise charging, more widespread use and support of fast charging, cheaper prices, etc. Legacy autos will finally start to use dedicated and optimise car frames for EV and not adaptations.

In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.

For example I have friends and colleagues that are waiting for this “new generation” of EV to consider the switch.

    Most of those '27 predictions are BS.

    Charging is already sufficiently standardized. Fast charging is already available to go anywhere today. Solid state offers no advantage (only higher price). Diagnostics tools are irrelevant for the end user. Optimized car frames are already a thing for the likes of Tesla or BYD (and also something the end user doesn’t care about). TCO EVs have been cheaper than ICE cars for years already.

    The good EVs of today are far superior to ICE cars and fulfill all but the most extreme use cases. There is no reason to wait.
