I mean… it depends on your requirements. The charge time is most of the time the dealbreaker, because humans are lazy, with an EV you can not just go “oh i forgot to fuel up, lets go to the next gas station and fill it up in seconds” rather “Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours”.
But still EVs can take you far and it gotten pretty far in the technology, but i guess the battery still holds personally me off buying one.
I haven’t bought an EV yet myself because I’m not buying a new car until my current one kicks the bucket, but don’t they have that “quick charge” feature similar to phones where if the battery is low it can get to “good enough to get you to work and back” in like 5 minutes?
I just can’t wait to not have to worry about oil changes or “odd engine sounds” anymore lol
That would rely on having the right charger, and I suspect they will be rare, because that’s a massive amount of power to deliver, and getting that much power to the site would be difficult.
But you will have to worry about your battery. It will depend on usage, “fast” charging etc… but it will not last as a “normal” car does. So you will have to replace it or dump the car. ( most people just dump it as its cheaper to buy new )
