All electric is not really meant for how the united states is set up. I'm not charging 5 times to go the next town over in my state. They are commuter vehicles, but not for long distance travel especially on highways. It's cool technology to have and I want it to advance but where it stands and where "rules/regulations" want it to be are not lining up. I currently don't see the tech coming about to make evs work for the every day American.
Some of the things I think need to be worked on before I can see myself every considering an ev for a daily driver are as follows:
1. Better range
2. Faster charging (3-4 minutes for a "full" charge)
3. Better highway efficiency (could be solved with an actual transmission potentially?)
4. Better range in cold weather (for those in cold climates in the northern states).
5. Cheaper cost of entry
6. Cheaper battery replacements
7. Less degradation to the bettery when using it. (Maybe a cooling system that runs on some of the power that gets pull in when charging to run a system that specifically cools the battery when charging?)
There are more things but these are some that come to mind when writing this.
