Its a game changer. 500 km range with a 10 minute recharge time, puts it into direct competition with gas powered vehicles.

Exactly. Give me V8 or Give me death.
We will not have equivalent power and heat until we have
portable fusion generators.
And that V8 rumble? its unmatched. Its the sound of America.
I think we all know electric vehicles are really not viable for many but they will have a place in certain conditions. They’re not going to be hauling loads, rolling up and down the mountain roads or running around this old rough West Texas ranch. They’ll pretty much be a flat land no load vehicle for now. I don’t see myself hitching up to the horse trailer and heading to New Mexico for an elk hunt with one. You ain’t going to see one with a loaded stock trailer headed to the sale. The good side is it’s going to take allot of natural gas to keep those electric turbines running to power these vehicles and tons of fuel to mine the minerals needed.
Most cars are for commuting. Electric cars might well be a good fit there. Maybe. They’d have to prove a new car was better and more cost-effective than my ancient (and paid for) Hyundai.
But if you want a reliable cargo or tow vehicle for bad weather and rough terrain, a gas or diesel can’t be beat.
