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?
500+ mile range isn’t going to be the goal for a very long time (likely never a goal, but maybe a product of advancing tech in the future).
Drivers vastly over estimate the amount of range that they actually need. The percentage people who drive passenger vehicles 500 miles per day is nearly 0.
200-300mi range vehicles will continue to dominate the market, with the focus being on reducing material costs and increasing charging time (while also improving the fast charging infrastructure).
