I have a game changing idea!!
Gas is so energy dense, let’s just use that!
.
Uh, except you only get about 30-35% of the energy into the motive force of the car. Compared to >90% of an EV. That’s one reason. Second reason - it’s way cheaper - as in right now when i fill up my Mustang GT, i get about 340 Miles of range for ~45$ When i charge my Tesla Model Y long range, i get about 320 miles of range for < 8$.
You see, I have both and drive each every day. I speak from first hand experience. Dullards on this website call EVs glorified golf carts. Anybody that knows cars know that Tesla has held “fastest production car” title in the world for many years. My Modely Y LR (SINGLE MOTOR) is faster them my manual Mustang GT with the Coyote engine.
I don’t see myself buying another gas car.... Now imagine in 4-5 years that the range is 700-1000 miles. Once you get past about 500-600, you need to take a break from driving.
