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?
Until charging infrastructure saturates much more than where it is today, I need a 250+ mile range EV. I make fairly regular trips of 100+ miles each way, and I’d have to go out of my way to find a working fast charger, although the future adoption of NACS makes that less of an issue for the future.
I mean, even the much-maligned BZ4X and its range would be plenty sufficient if I knew there would be available working fast chargers every time I drive 100+ miles.
That said, for my daily use, the current crop of EVs is plenty. I have just a few reasons I’m waiting: the aformentioned lack of chargers, lack of space in my garage currently for a L2 charger setup, and that I’m still paying on my current HV. Those reasons are all going to go away in a few years and then I’m jumping on my first EV.
