You don't have to go 15 years back. Commercial mass produced EV didn't exist 15 years ago, only hybrids. (Don't mention the EV1. Yes it existed in CA, but nowhere else). The tesla roadster was 2008, and it was pretty horrible. The bolt and leaf were 2010 - 10 years ago.
Look at the EV market in the past 10 years. The infrastructure is growing. My semi-rural PA small town has a sheetz with 8 Tesla fast charge stations. And I see a few cars using them every time I drive by. My 90 mile commute (total back and forth) would be no sweat to any modern EV. Even in the winter. Every Tesla currently sold has a range option of 300+ miles. I gave them a HARD look when I decided to sell my WRX for a new daily. Course I made that hard right turn and bought a Challenger... But I also have not had to commute to work since March. Still though, most of the trips I take are within 200 miles of home. A 2020 Bolt ahs a 250 mile range. A 2020 Leaf has about 160 miles of range. The times where an EV may only have an 90 mile range are well and truly over, and the range options are only going to get better. And range does not even matter in cities where most of these cars are designed to shine. And almost every major automaker in the US either has to is planning to have an EV for sale. I have no doubt that in 2035, if the California law has managed to stick around that there will be plenty of EV cars that are affordable for the common person. I'd prefer to have the market decide wen EVs overtake the ICE, but it is coming. They are getting better every day. Zach |
