Until you have a consistent 300-400 mile range on the highway and a 5-10 minute full recharge they are commuter niche product....
Second vehicle. Etc
Evtol is probably more likely to mainstream before fully electric cars IMHO
Second vehicle for wealthy or wolk folks who get ridiculous tax incentives for buying them.
Bingo!
Without fuel cells to supply the electricity to power the electrically-driven vehicle, low probability of being able to build enough electric battery-powered vehicles to make up more than a niche portion of the automotive market.
Battery technology is dependent upon too many components that are either in short supply, or are subject to severe market disruptions. Plus, there is a recycling problem in regards to the hazardous components in these batteries.
We are close on the range. I have spoken with my gnomes and they agree that is already their if you will it's the next beach head is charge times. 12 to 15 minutes with Solid State Batteries which will supposedly be here 2025 and after.
Look for the latest press releases from QuantumScape and Solid Power. Solid Power's latest Release w/ diagrams denote 300 mile range, 15 to 20 minute charge times (depending on the Cathode) with a reduction in Mass and Pac Size of 44% and 46% respectively. That also coincides with the Ford Video Press briefing given by the head of engineering Hau Tia-Tang. Solid Power also noted cost of the pac goes down almost $4000. It is a trade off at that point, more weight and pac size to reach the 400 miles, unless other breakthroughs in Watt's/Kg density occur that is compatible with the architecture and chemistry's they are using.
