The issue that keeps me from purchasing EV’s is battery life. The Technology isn’t there yet. I have an electric motocross bike and an electric mountain bike and the batteries simply don’t last as long as advertised and replacing them every year, year and a half gets pricey.
Motocross battery is a couple grand and mountain bike $500-$600.
So you spend let’s say 60,000 to 80,000 ish on a car, two years down the road the battery won’t take a full charge and you start to lose range, eventually you need a new battery $15,000 to $20,000. Who wants to put another $15,000 into a 2 year old car knowing that in two years you’re going to have to do it again.
They’re a novelty and until they can find better energy densities and come down in price they’ll continue to be a novelty.
I keep hearing about promising new tech like graphene, sodium et but it never seems to go anywhere.
