It is a question more intended for the people that plan to keep his cars for more then 10 years.
If you follow the news, there’s a lot of things that will separate the EV from 2027 (+/- give it or take a year) to the early generations.
From common diagnostic tools, new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries, more standardise charging, more widespread use and support of fast charging, cheaper prices, etc. Legacy autos will finally start to use dedicated and optimise car frames for EV and not adaptations.
In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.
For example I have friends and colleagues that are waiting for this “new generation” of EV to consider the switch.
does the car still suit your needs in 2027? if so, what is the urgency to get a new car?
but TODAY, you barely charge 2x a week in the garage at home
what does a bigger battery actually get you - you still park in your garage every night, right?
2x a week at home - school, kids, errands. - there are adapters for the other flavor - there are only 2 flavors. this is not a big problem to solve either.
how often do you need it?
do you have a 100 mile daily commute?
what can you put back on your car in the garage, overnight while you are asleep?

they just assume that they are going to have to go on an emergency road trip 2x a week.

is considered to be one of the major psychological barriers to large-scale public adoption of electric cars.
where I live, people w/o a garage charge at the grocery store, or the coffee shop - places where you could NEVER buy gasoline. doubt a high percentage of these people will regret their purchase in 3 years.
80% of new cars sold in Norway are now electric vehicles
