    I don’t think battery tech needs to improve, it will, but I don’t think it needs too.

    Prices are going to drop. Will be interesting to see what happens is BYD sets up in Mexico. But lithium for high end cars and sodium for cheap cars I think is enough to push the revolution.

      I’ve written about my delima with buying a BEV (beyond the price) a bit already … here’s a link to that https://social.packetloss.gg/comment/1334210

      Basically, I do think either the battery technology or the charging infrastructure themselves need a fair bit of improvement before we’ll see the average person adopting them enthusiastically.

        As time goes on there will be more chargers and less petrol stations.

        What I’m saying is if the price keeps coming down battery tech is good enough today.

        Like hypothetically if electric cars were half the price of normal cars and there was 10x as many charging stations you wouldn’t need better battery technology.

        But battery tech will get better and cheaper and there will be more charging stations. I get their are issues now.
