I agree. BEVs are more expensive than ICE, does not have greater range than ICE, are charging much slowly than ICE, I don't need any dumb application to get fuel into an ICE and with surging electricity prices does not even make economical sense to own BEV.
- timbit42 4y agoBEVs are currently more expensive than ICE but BEVs will be less expensive in less than 10 years as the technology continue to improve. ICE technology doesn't have much room left to improve after 100 years so it's impressive that BEVs will surpass ICE so quickly.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoBEV is limited by availability of raw materials. Copper, Lithium. It is actually predicted that there will be shortage of batteries for following decade, thanks to lack of available lithium and subsequent processing capacities and shortage of copper thanks to fact that we already maxed out output of current copper mines. So there is no reason for BEV to be cheaper, more less it will keep being expensive or will get even more expensive than it is today.
- timbit42 4y agoIf there is a shortage of raw materials, companies will work to get them to fulfill the demand.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoThere is literally not enough copper on Earth to get BEV going.
