Fully Charged in Just 6 Minutes – Groundbreaking Technique Could Revolutionize EV Charging::Typically, it takes around 10 hours to charge an electric vehicle. Even with fast-charging techniques, you’re still looking at a minimum of 30 minutes – and that’s if there’s an open spot at a charging station. If electric vehicles could charge as swiftly as we refill traditional gas vehicles, it wo
If you have ICE cars to rent for the rare trips longer than the distance the car can travel on one charge, not many will be on the roads.
the point of using EVs is to phase out ICE cars, not to make them rarer to use.Current EVs are still unreliable to achieve this, since the manufecturer is not running a charity and wants to turn a profit on those by cheapning out on battery capacity, ie Tesla. Fossil is a finite ressource. Also Once they produce a car that has at least double the battery size and costs only 30k$ that i would use for the next 50 years, then my purchase of those could be justified. i plan on buying only a single car in my lifetime.
Basically nobody does this.
not because nobody does this, it means that it should be the norm. also try to point out something more of material than this. 50 years probably, is too much. 30 years is reasonable (a car of 40 years ago still runs fine, as long as the body isnt corroded and the mechanics work fine. Power steering and is critical thou. the only thing that would prohibit a car from being used is the chassis, the rest is just parts) this is not an iphone that i should be tossing around each year.
At some point, like with every car, it gets cheaper to replace it than keep fixing it. Also, there is no way car companies are going to make a car that lasts 30 years.
a lot of reliable car brands like Mercedes did it, but they knew their cars were too good and lobbied for legislation that oblige people to replace their cars each 8 years. then come the emission laws. why would i pay 40k$ for a 75kwh battery car ? at least make it 150kwh for the same price. i also dont need digital screens everwhere.
No they didn’t. There are no Mercedes brands that last for 30 years, except for individuals who take very special care of them. That’s absolute nonsense. And why should they make it 150kwh for the same price if people are willing to pay more? I don’t think you understand how capitalism works. And, like it or not, this world is mostly capitalist.
so u like to pay more for a thing that isn’t worth its price 🤡 ? idk about u but either way i dont like to be cucked by overpaying for stuff that aren’t worth the exact amount + a reasonable amount of profit. i didnt bring up capitalism but u did, and yea i hate it
It doesn’t matter what I’d like. The world doesn’t revolve around what I like or what you like. So if you want a car, it won’t last 30 years and you’ll be paying premiums for features you want. That’s just how the world works. I’m sorry you want it to work differently, but there’s no incentive for car companies to change what works for them.
