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?
Just having 500 mile range EVs available is the tipping point. Most people don’t need and won’t get that but seeding the idea into the heads of the general populace is the key here.
It’s just like how I think we need big, tall signs over every fast charging location. My nav is better than any sign for finding a charger, sure. But those signs aren’t for me: they’re for the millions out there who still say “I don’t see any chargers around here”.
We don’t need 500 mile range EVs so that everybody can have 500 mile range EVs. We need 500 mile range EVs to prove to everybody that they can have an EV.
