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In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.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.
If there are better batteries then I’m sure someone will be offering battery upgrades on the older EVs.
Only the most common and easy to replace batteries. GM’s truck with it’s 20 replaceable modules? Sure. A Tesla? No chance.
Why not? There is already a company working on custom pack upgrades for the Model S and have been testing.
There was another company overseas that made a installed a custom pack also for a proof of concept.
