Current charging network will have to expand massively for that of course to do away with the possibility of lines. Definitely a lot of what ifs need to be accounted for. I'm curious to see what happens.
It's going to be an interesting couple decades to see how it all pans out. I still feel we are in the infancy as far as the technology. I actually do not expect EVs as we know them today to be the same as 15 years from now.
I think pricing will be a big factor on market penetration as well, I dont see Americans downsizing their main vehicle just to be "EV" which leads us to where technology will be 15 years from now or less.
The next thing is currently right at our doorstep, electric grid can not handle an "instant" move to EVs even if they currently were have the price and even cheaper than vehicles of all sizes including 3 row SUVs. Being realistic one just has to do a search of "power alerts" for even today July 28th. The whole grid today would crash if even maybe 5% of vehicles were on the road and 10% for sure half the urban areas in the country would be blacked out *LOL*
This is why I am sure, things are not going to move forward at half the speed some might be expecting and by that I do not mean sales of EVs which of course all companies are starting to produce and I months back purchased for me, a significant amount of GM. I do believe in the future and all this EV hype had me purchase at $33 a share. Im not making a statement in the car market. Im making a bank statement of I saw little downsize risk with all the media exposure and car sales. So do I get greedy or am I happy with the 15 to 20% gain, my brain says sell and buy it back when it goes down to $33 again, my emotions says what if it doesnt go down to $33 again.. so, oh well.
I do get excited because I LOVE electronics, I have my whole life. So I think I do want to by a small (lack of better words)cheap one, I always will have my 3 row gasoline SUV of any brand and since our move to the coast, with a wife that works from home, me retired, her small Mazda goes no place except around town. She likes the look of the BOLT EUV, so do I. Never sat in one, people seem to like them (remember around town for us) and next year the new Bolt platform will come out, so maybe in two years, assuming pricing will be at a sane point. Who knows? There are also cool looking gasoline cars we would consider... time will tell.
All this long post to say, yeah, it's interesting times for sure, EVs are here to stay, I just think, looking forward newer technology will make todays technology look old. Which when anyone thinks about it, what new electronic device didnt get replaced with something better?
