More like every 400-500km. Even current electric cars generally have ranges in the 350km+ range, and they're getting better every generation. Unless my work provides me free charging, I'll be charging at home where my electricity is supplied by my solar panels.
- dmix 9y agoOh wow, it was actually 200 miles for a Tesla 3 which is 350km. And it's only going to improve. That means in an urban environment they'll be able to drive for quite a long time before charging... that's interesting as it means even less real estate needed for charging. The implications of this technology on daily life in the next decade will be nearly as interesting as the deployment of consumer internet in the 1990s. There are so many possibilities, it's very exciting...
- maccard 9y agoInterestingly That's not far off the range of an average petrol/gas car according to [0] - I can't vouch for the numbers in that article though.
