Even the cheapest EVs can now travel more than 200 miles to a charge, while pioneering luxury models featuring the latest in battery technology have proven capable of as much as 500 miles of range or more. Longer-range EVs are making road trips more practical than ever, further closing the gap between them and the internal-combustion-powered cars and trucks they're increasingly replacing.
Several EVs achieve their increased ranges through a combination of more energy-dense battery chemistries and increasingly efficient designs. Others simply pack ever more battery into each vehicle in order to achieve greater distance. Regardless of how they get there, every EV on the following list of electric cars and trucks with the longest range can travel at least 270 miles to a charge, according to the EPA.
 
The Nikkei report said the Japanese automaker was likely to step up production of battery-powered vehicles over the coming years to reach annual output of more than 600,000 vehicles in 2025.
The company has previously said it targets sales of 1.5 million EVs annually by 2026 and 3.5 million, or about one-third of current global volume, by 2030.
Toyota last year sold fewer than 25,000 EVs, including of its Lexus brand, worldwide.
It sought to raise EV production to about 150,000 vehicles in 2023 and gradually increase it further to the 190,000-vehicle range next year, Nikkei said.

BILLIONAIRE INVESTOR MAKES BOLD CLAIM ABOUT TESLA’S FUTURE WORTH: ‘TESLA IS GOING TO BE LIKE INTEL

https://apple.news/AxfrN4_7QTIygL3PNRZQ9Zg

Tesla has been given a vote of confidence by one of the world’s wealthiest men who believes the company’s valuation could grow four to five times between now and 2030.*
Investor Ron Baron was speaking to CNBC about Walter Issacson’s new biography of Elon Musk, as Business Insider summarized, and Baron discussed the stock market potential of Musk’s electric vehicle company, Tesla, among other things.*
“I think Tesla in the next seven years will be about four or five times as big as it is right now in the stock market,” Baron said. “In the funds that I manage, I’ve been maxed out.”*
Among the reasons why Baron is so bullish about the predicted financial health of Tesla in the coming years is the introduction of new vehicles — with the Cybertruck soon to hit the market — Tesla’s battery business, and Tesla’s focus on software, which he believes will become the standard for all EVs.*
“Tesla is going to be like Intel inside of [computers],” Baron predicted. “That’s going to be Tesla.”
He also mentioned that the popularity of EVs is harming the traditional dirty-fuel-powered vehicle market, noting that every time someone buys an electric car, one fewer internal-combustion engine machine is purchased.*
It should be noted that Baron is an investor in Musk’s ventures, holding stock in Tesla and a stake in SpaceX worth around $1 billion.*
But Tesla’s shares are already up 120% this year, so there’s reason for Baron to encourage people to invest.
According to Business Insider, a fivefold increase in company stock value would see Tesla valued at $4 trillion.
A crowd-sourced data tracker had a list of reservations for Tesla’s upcoming Cybertruck at over 2 million in mid-September. The model will be Tesla’s first foray into the light-duty-truck space, and it could be a serious game-changer if it lives up to its billed potential.
Tesla has said the Cybertruck can go from standing to 60 miles per hour in just 2.9 seconds, and it can provide up to 500 miles of range on a single charge.*
Furthermore, data from Statista has shown that nearly 900,000 Teslas had been delivered worldwide through the first two quarters of 2023.*
So, it’s clear Tesla is making some serious noise when it comes to vehicles that produce zero tailpipe pollution. Perhaps those predictions from Baron won’t be too far off.*
 
Hilton recently announced its agreement with Tesla. The hotel chain will install up to 20,000 Tesla Universal Wall Connectors at 2,000 of its hotels in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, Hilton explains. Those connectors will begin being installed next year.


The move will create the largest overnight EV charging network in the hospitality industry, according to Hilton. What’s more, the combination of at least six chargers at each of the selected hotels and Hilton’s geographic footprint of hotels alongside roadways and in key urban destinations across North America “makes it uniquely suited to provide charging access at scale for travelers on long-haul trips,” Hilton continues.
Importantly, Hilton’s announcement coincides with Tesla’s launch of its Universal Wall Connector. That device, which works on both Tesla and other electric vehicles, is said to expand Tesla’s efforts to make charging available for all EVs.
“A key priority for Tesla Charging is installing low-cost, convenient AC charging anywhere EVs are parked for more than an hour or two,” Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of charging infrastructure at Tesla, said in a statement. “Installing infrastructure at popular destinations, like Hilton hotels, enables EV owners to charge where they park, meaning no unnecessary refueling stops along their journey. We applaud Hilton for their leadership in the space and look forward to continuing to ramp this critical program with other industry leaders.”

I think that electric cars are getting pretty good and will continue to get better.

I also believe that they will prove to be friendlier to the environment.

And finally,
I believe that a high compression eight, or better yet, twelve cylinder engine
running on high octane leaded racing gasoline
is one of the prettiest sounds on the planet.

Now, I guess, we'll have to try to find a benefit
to having survival without beauty
if we feel that it's worth bothering to do so.

How surprising - a new technology just needs time to become more viable.

Just think about what EVs were like five years ago and how much more viable they are now than they were then.

The advantage EVs have over gas cars will continue to increase every year.
By 2030, more EVs will be sold than gas cars and shortly after gas cars will go the way of VHS tapes.

MAGA morons soil diapers
 
We’ve got two years before we trade in our current automobile. I’m sure by then EV’s will be even better! Can’t wait.

When were the first electric vehicles invented?

Worth the Watt: A Brief History of the Electric Car, 1830 to Present
https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g43480930/history-of-electric-cars/

Electric cars are nothing new. They have been around for well over a century and a half. In all that time, they have NEVER been able to capture more than a small segment of the market. The ONLY thing that has changed with that today in the latest fad to go electric is the government is forcing them down the public's throats. That's it.

The Chevy Volt came on the market in 2013. They have come a long way in a few years. It is viable. EVs are taking over the market and consumer satisfaction is very high.

Hardly the beginnings of EV's. The first ones came out in the 1830's, and by the 1890's were viable motor vehicles. None however captured much of a market.
 
Sometimes it's just a discrepancy between what we ideally ought to do--
buy electric cars for the environment--
and what we simply want to do--
buy the car that we like best among those we can afford.

We argue to frame the argument in different terms,
because few people have the balls to say,
I didn't ask to be born
but since I was dragged here,
I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want to do
to the extent that I can get away with it.

Almost everybody acts that way,
but many aren't sufficiently self-aware to know why.

I suppose there may be a few saints walking around,
but I haven't bumped into any recently.

That's like saying computers were invented in the early 1800's.

It's true - but it has nothing to do w/ the development of the modern computer.

Ergo, intellectually dishonest.

Again there is no significant advantages to owning a EV over ICE

TA Garbler is still using that lame argument that "the government is forcing them down the public's throats".
It's bullshit. He knows it's bullshit but it's the only debate point he has left. He knows full well he's lost this argument but just like the 2020 election, he deludes himself so he doesn't have to deal with reality.

How Many EVs Are On the Road Today?
At the end of 2021, just over 10 million vehicles on the road worldwide were battery electric vehicles. In 2020, the number of electric vehicles registered globally increased by 30%, with over 2 million vehicles sold.
Electric vehicles are a relatively new technology, but their growth curve in America has already been tremendous. Since 2010, annual sales of EVs in the United States have grown over 19,000%, from only 1,191 vehicles sold in 2010 to 231,088 in 2020.
Unlike other parts of the world, the United States has yet to reach this explosive stage. This suggests that the American EV market is poised for rapid expansion.
As new technologies go, the electric vehicle is still in its early adopter stage, even though its market share is improved. While the U.S. new car sales grew by 36% between January and April 2021, EV car sales in the U.S. increased by 95%.
