Yeah it's why I probably won't ever be buying an EV. The technology and repairability needs another decade or more to mature. I have no interest in paying indefinite rent to use a car.
- simonblack 5y agoThe technology and repairability needs another decade or more to mature. The technology, repairability AND SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE needs another THREE OR MORE decadeS to mature. The biggest barrier to widespread use of EVs is the almost complete lack of supporting infrastructure. How many countries in the world have electrical grids robust enough to support daily charging of tens or hundreds of millions of EVs at the one time? How many countries of the world have sufficient, widespread charging stations that can handle hundreds of EVs per hour? We have those facilities for ICEs today, all over the world, even in remote hard-to-reach off-grid locations. For EVS? Practically negligible.
