Where’s the power coming from that will charge these wonderful new EVs?
A car that goes twice as far on a charge will require roughly twice the power to charge it. Apart from convenience to the owner, the fundamental problem is still there.
I can see everybody will be buying gas powered generators pretty soon.................
Assuming the new batteries would have similar charging characteristics as current batteries, the advantage of having higher capacity batteries is shorter DC fast charging times. The charge rate starts slowing down around 60% of battery capacity. At 80% of battery capacity it does make a lot of sense to continue to charge unless one needs the range. A current Tesla with a 300 mile battery takes around a hour to charge to 100%. A 600 mile vaporware battery charging at a 350KWH DC charing station could get 400 miles of range in about 20 minutes.
