I've seen lots of comments from people in CA and the large cities but I really don't see how EVs could be a practical solution for many in rural areas or the extreme cold... think Canada (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Quite often in the winter months we can see the cold with windchill reach temperatures of -50 celsius in Northern Ontario. The advancements in battery technology would need to be incredible. Many communities in my area are also separated by at least 200KM... combine that with -50 conditions and constant heat in the cab. Going to be interesting...

The large cities vs rural areas is the same thing I always think about when I hear people in the industry say all cars are going to be autonomous pods that you no longer own but merely hop into when they pull up. Even if I agreed (I don't), the first thing I thought about was rural areas, where that makes no sense whatsoever given people per acre. Think of the county fair. Or a mass evacuation. And now Covid has how many of us wanting to hop into a four-wheeled Petri dish? Ah yes, about the same number who want to ride planes. Or less... |
