We can't even make good battery for EVs....
Right now I could buy an EV with 520km range for 36kโฌ. It's rapidly getting better.
Now tell me how long do you need to charge that from 0 to 100%? ๐คญ
You do know EV sales stall because of that, right? And the concern of battery lifespan.
You do realize most people charge at home? It doesn't matter how long it takes when the car is just sitting there (you'll even save time compared to driving to the gas station).
Manufacturers also give 7+ years warranty on batteries by now, but even after 10 years a battery doesn't just break, you only lose a few percent of range (if this wasn't already calculated into the buffer, depends on the car).
In what fantasy world are you living? EVs just hit an all-times sales record last year. This is for the US, but it's similar all over the world:
You know people's biggest limitation when purchasing is EV range compared to fossil fuel right?
Last year? What year is it now?
