It's funny that the only technical downside - recharging time - is quite critical to the people's life style. Solves all the problem but fails at one mundane problem.
- dagurp 4y agoFor most people the charging time isn't a problem because you usually charge it at home or at work when you're not using the car anyway.
- esjeon 4y agoYes, but it's still true that the cost of forgetting to charge is just way too expensive (currently).
- ummonk 4y agoIs it? Most people do daily commutes significantly shorter than EV range, and tend to take meal and bathroom breaks every few hours when commuting long distances.
- oittaa 4y agoIt's funny that every boomer is an emergency trombone repair person, but in the real world people just start every day with a full battery.
- esjeon 4y agoWell, you're being overly protective here. I think this problem should NOT be downplayed, because it can create a whole new industry in the future - automated charging or self charging or whatever. It's simply that the BEV market isn't big nor mature enough to allow scalable (widely-compatible) solutions.

I don't have the latest statistics from here, but I just read that in the neighboring country over 80% of the new vehicles (90+% of the private vehicles) this year have been BEVs. It's a solved problem.
