You forgot to mention the cold weather range problem. A tesla battery at -20c lasts 45 min.
We make a yearly trip from KC to the Indy 500. According to what I have seen, we’d need to charge the car sometime during our 8 hr. trip. Finding a place to charge a car for 20 minutes would be very inconvenient.
What happens to the range in winter when you have to keep the heater on?
If the EV manufacturers can't get 600 miles + out of a car, how do they plan on getting that out of the electric semi truck? Because now with diesel powered trucks we can get over 700 hundred miles in our allowed, legal drive time. One more thing, those batteries better be able to charge completely, and be ready to go another 700 hundred miles, in 10 hours.
Be careful with the recharge times – those should have a huge asterisk by them. Why? Sure SOME models can charge that quickly in CERTAIN situations with SPECIFIC conditions and CERTAIN chargers. You're not charging that fast at home, and it's only at certain superchargers and certain battery conditions that you're charging that fast. Unfortunately when consumers see these estimates, they automatically assume they're going to be charging that fast in their garage.
Also, how much range is enough – is really dependent on how fast it can recharge. Like it or not, the current bar is set by ICE vehicles, which in comparable classes can typically go 400 miles without refueling, and refueling takes just a few minutes at any number of tens of thousands of stations nationwide. If the range of an EV were much longer, it might be acceptable for the charging time to be ~ 30 minutes, but not several hours.
Range is one thing. Yet, according to a study done by Volvo. Over the lifetime of an ICE vehicle vs an EV , an EV will only save an average of 15% of CO2 produced. Then of course there’s the landfill issue.
Still waiting for a study on the powerful batteries and what the effect is on the body when sitting over them for hours a day.
Do these batteries have a memory? Do you need to run them down to zero, or 10% once a month or so??
Good info to know
I will stick with gas
