The batteries in EV’s are toxic waste. They don’t store all the energy that goes into them- Especially after they age. They don’t last long and are super expensive to replace. They just don’t make sense. And they won’t unless a far better energy storage device come into existence.
Battery prices, which were above $1,100 per kilowatt-hour in 2010, have fallen 87% in real terms to $156/kWh in 2019. By 2023, average prices will be close to $100/kWh, according to the latest forecast from research company BloombergNEF https://about.bnef.com/blog/battery-pack-prices-fall-as-market-ramps-up-with-market-average-at-156-kwh-in-2019/
AT $100/kWh puts them on par with ICE.
Get used to it.
Think about your cell phone battery - through its lifespan, its capacity diminishes with use. To exacerbate the problem, some usage and charging patterns actually make it deteriorate far faster.
Even the best batteries for cell phones - last at most, 2 years before seeing a significantly diminished performance. What is the current life expectancy for an EV’s batteries (when used as daily drivers with lots of use)?
