Ultralong-Range Electric Cars Are Arriving. Say Goodbye to Charging Stops
- kylehotchkiss 3y ago500 isn’t bad, but I hear some pickup trucks with large tanks can get this type of range. I’ll be excited when we start to see 750-1000 mile ranges
- ianai 3y agoAbsolutely going to need much better battery tech for long haul trucking, rural living, and seasons. Having said that, the current gen Rav4 Prime PHEV is especially a 90/10 split between fuel types. It can net pretty dramatic emissions cuts. I can imagine when it’s 80/20 for ~80-100 miles per charge it’ll be near total.
- klondike_ 3y agoI don't understand the obsession with EV range. 99% of people just need enough range to get to work and back. Even if you wanted to take a road trip (increasingly uncommon as plane tickets get cheaper) you only need enough range for a day's worth of driving, since you'll need to stop to sleep/eat/bathroom at some point which gives you the opportunity to fast charge.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI think this is just a matter of technology getting better even if needs remain the same? Like, sure no one needs that, but if that’s where we wind up, no one will be complaining about it. And I’m sure the anti-EV crowd would manage to move the goalpost to make even those feel inadequate to their needs.
