That seems backwards to me, this next generation coming out absolutely does fit the around town car. I am not sure what percentage of the population fits "couple, one commutes to work, one is at home, live around a metro" but having a EV for city driving, and a ICE for road trips would be a completely normal configuration for many families in America, and kicks the charger network question down the road for at least half a decade. If it can replace ONE ICE vehicle, and you still own another, range becomes a non-issue. Now its a question of cost, can they deliver the experience at $20k. A $20K car that is delivered now, and a charging network that comes later may not hinder people from dipping their feet into their first EV. Charge time is the part of the car that cant be upgraded later, network can.
Tesla has what, 1000 charging stations across America, and Electrify America has 500?
- clouddrover 6y ago> Tesla has what, 1000 charging stations across America, and Electrify America has 500? Considering all CCS networks, including Electrify America, there are currently 4,238 CCS charging sites in the US and Canada. Set the charger type to "DC Fast" and the connector to CCS to see an overview: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/find/nearest?fuel=ELEC https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/fi...
- sgerenser 6y agoI was just looking into this yesterday, and one downside is there seems to be a lot of DC “Fast” chargers that have a limit of 24KWh. Better than level 2, but that basically means sitting around for well over an hour for even a 50% charge. Not a fan of Tesla so hoping the CCS charging network continues to expand and actually be fast.
