Range is a solved problem.
Modern EVs get over 300 miles and charge 150 miles in 15-30mins.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'availability' - in the context of your comment "I’m surprised we don’t see more plugin hybrids on the market", wherein we're talking about what car manufacturers could be doing, well, they're all available.
A Model X with a Land Rover shell is obviously feasible, it's just that no-one has done it yet. It's probably within the means of a dedicated enthusiast.
I'm surprised that car manufacturers are dragging their feet. ICE's are absolutely dead technology.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoRange is only a solved problem if you spend a lot of money. Availability is an issue, most EVs in the UK are on 12 month lead times. Volkswagen have actually withdrawn some cars from sale.
- esotericn 7y agoI think we're just talking past each other here, I don't disagree. I just think this all boils down to cost. The lower cost cars are crap or unavailable.
