I’ve done my research....for me the cons outweigh the pros for EVs and its not even close.
Limited range
Recharge time
Danger of battery fire during charging or from salt water intrusion
A couple of years ago a person in my town was provided an EV courtesy vehicle overnight while hers was being serviced and it caught fire in her garage in the wee hours of the morning not only destroying the EV but also almost burning her very expensive home to the ground and it wasn’t even being charged, it just spontaneously combusted for no apparent.
EVs are a HARD PASS for me 👎
Yup. Me too.
You forgot the fact that there is yet no large scale recycling of the battery materials. This is becoming a huge problem no one talks about. These things are an environmental disaster. Ice cars are well above 90% recycleable.
I agree with you on the limitations for the current EVs.
The reason Toyota, Samsung, Panasonic and all the other major electronic and automotive manufacturers are working on SOLID STATE batteries is that the range will increase, they will work at a lower temperature range and they do not increase the temperature when charging(and potentially start a fire).
These corporations would not be investing in this technology IF they didn’t think it was a game changer(IMHO).
It would be like adding Mr Fusion to power your next Toyota Camry.
Solid state batteries get rid of the majority of your(and mine) objections to buying.
