Sure it does. Just look at Tesla, at the time EVs had 24kwh or smaller batteries and they more than doubled that to give reasonable ranges.
- contriban 5y agoMy point is that there’s a limit to it. Teslas still don’t have the same range as a gas car in the same category/price. They could increase it but then I don’t think they can sell a lot of $150k Model Ss. At some point you’ll have more drawbacks than it’s worth it (size, price, weight, efficiency, safety).
