EXPERTS ARE PREDICTING AN ‘EXPLOSION’ OF INEXPENSIVE ELECTRIC CARS

If stations start charging too much and you don't own a home, then what? Where do you go?

Hydroelectric power isn't available everywhere. In fact, it's quite limited. A portable generator using gasoline to charge your car is going to set you back $500 or more. Then you have to haul it to where you're going to use it. That means you better own a pickup truck, not a car.

Gas stations have done that several times in our history. Energy companies turn the screws to increase profits.
Rightys keep creating scenarios where EVs are not applicable. We can all do the same with ICEs and they are poisoning the air, land, water, and the people.

It isn't a thing. Range anxiety comes with buying an EV. Your screen ticks off the use telling you how much range is left. You are always aware of what's left. but I never ran out of gas in an ICE car either. You must have done it regularly.
You start the day with a full charge. Drive to work and back, maybe shop. When you go home you plug in. It takes a few seconds. A lot faster than filling a gas tank.

Yup, and so much more convenient. No special trips to the gas station. No foul gas fumes, no spilling gas on your hands or clothes, no waiting at the pump in bad weather for the tank to fill.

I love my EV.

Then you will quickly buy an EV.

No, because I recognize that EV's are impractical and expensive for most of America, just as I know that solar and wind are impractical and expensive, and not going to power the US anytime soon, and likely never.
 
Electric car range set to double with first production of breakthrough battery

Mass production of next-generation battery backed by Volkswagen expected to begin next year
A battery startup is aiming to be the first company in the world to mass produce electric vehicle batteries with a range of 1,000km – roughly double the current standard.

China-based Gotion High Tech, which is a supplier to Volkswagen, unveiled its new L600 LMFP Astroinno battery at its annual technology conference, claiming that mass production will begin in 2024.
The lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate (LMFP) battery has already passed all necessary safety tests, the company said, and has a life cycle of 4,000 charge-discharge cycles – making it suitable for everyday electric cars.
The 1,000km range from a single charge gives the battery a potential lifetime range of 4 million kilometres, far exceeding the average lifespan of a car.

Its single-charge range is also equivalent to records set by customised electric prototypes, such as the Mercedes-Benz Vision EQXX that broke a range record by travelling from Germany to the UK on a single charge last year.
It took 10 years of in-house research to make the technology commercially viable, using new electrolyte additives and state-of-the-art technology to overcome previous issues with this type of battery.

Until now, LMFP materials have suffered low conductivity, low compaction density and manganese dissolution at high temperatures, meaning they were too inefficient and unwieldy to use in EVs.
Despite these challenges, the enormous potential of the technology has drawn the attention of researchers and industry watchers.
“In recent years, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology has regained the recognition of the market with market share continuing to increase,” said Dr Cheng Qian, executive president of the International Business Unit of Gotion High-Tech.
“Meanwhile, the energy density growth of mass-produced LFP batteries has encountered bottlenecks, and further improvement requires an upgrade of the chemical system, so [our system] was developed.”
The company also made other breakthroughs with the battery’s design, which reduced the number of structural parts by 45 per cent and lowered their weight by nearly a third.

Have you read the posts? EVs are under 30 K and there are new offerings even cheaper. Reliability? How reliable are ICEs without gas?

Those who don't like EVs always bring up the worst-case scenarios about EVs because they have underlying political reasons for their animosity that have zero logic.
It goes back to their anti-climate cult masters telling them to hate any technology that remotely resembles climate-friendly.

Let's eliminate all--ALL--government incentives, bias in regulations, and other 'thumb on the scale' in the market place and let EV's compete on a level playing field with ICE vehicles. Guaranteed EV's will lose, just as they have for more than a century to ICE vehicles. The only reason EV's are gaining market share is political, not economic, or personal preference.

EXPERTS ARE PREDICTING AN ‘EV-PLOSION’ OF CHEAP, ELECTRIC CARS — HERE’S HOW LOW PRICES COULD GET

The EV market is booming, and there are a lot of exciting upcoming models. by Mila Dyson*/*May 18, 2023

In 2022, electric vehicle (EV) sales were on the rise but mostly remained popular for buyers with a large budget, with many consumers still finding them too expensive. Several of Tesla’s models were among the most popular EVs across the U.S., and Car and Driver reported it as the bestselling luxury auto brand.
Why 2023 is the year of the EV
Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), many EV buyers will now qualify for all or part of a $7,500 EV tax credit when they go for a new EV. And Tesla and other carmakers have lowered their prices.*
So, as the numbers of EV models available skyrocket and the price of EVs naturally goes down, when the tax credit is considered, many more EVs will soon enter the mainstream, in what Tech Crunch called the “EV-plosion.”
What’re some of the most exciting upcoming electric vehicles?
The EV market is booming, and there are a lot of exciting upcoming models. Many higher-priced EVs don’t qualify for the IRA tax credit — they need to have an MSRP of less than $55,000 unless they’re trucks, vans, or SUVs (which can be eligible at prices up to $80,000). But the growth of the lower-cost EV is electrifying.
One exciting new prospect is the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, which should be relatively affordable with a starting price close to $30,000. Once the $7,500 tax credit is factored in, it would come at a reasonable starting price of $22,500. This compact electric SUV will have an enormous range of 250 miles estimated between charges (or up to 300 miles with higher-priced options), so there is no need for any range anxiety.
The Fisker Ocean is a stylish SUV that its maker has released in Europe and expects to start delivering in the U.S. in June. The base model has an estimated range of 250 miles and a base purchase price of $37,499 — MAGA wets panties.
