I doubt there will ever be batteries that charge that fast. I don't know about car battery technology but the fast charging batteries in smartphones actually causes the batteries to degrade faster.Give me a 300hp EV mk8 GTI, 300 mile range, 15 min charge time.
I have no idea when they try so hard with EV car designs.

Who knows. They will figure out some battery technology that will accomplish that without degrading the lifespan of the batteries. They will pretty much have to because your problem with charging times is the biggest obstacle to acceptance. I do think that it is being rushed too much without the planning for the infrastructure capacity to handle the demand. I still think that hydrogen fuel cell cars was a better solution. Of course that would require hydrogen fuel stations as convenient as gas stations are.Maybe some type of capacitor? I can dream, man.
You can have your wish. The VW ID. 4 will be at dealers soon.I would take an electric Golf. Instant torque.
yes hydrogen would be a good alternative.
All along though, if we care about greenhouse gasses (?), a solution has been modeled with natural gas. Powerplants and fleet vehicles. School buses, UPS trucks and other. Before Tesla, arguably the car with smallest carbon footprint was the nat gas civic.
It wouldn't have been hard to roll out nat gas IC engine cars. Home distribution was modeled with the civic and many people have nat gas at home. Nat gat powerplants aren't going away in my lifetime and probably not yours.
Unfortunately, in politics, perfection is the enemy of the good thus some will press for perfection at huge cost.
If anyone here listened to the Joe Rogan interview with Musk from years ago he made valid points. Large scale use of EVs aren't practical. You'll never see an electric aircraft or ship because the size of the batteries to produce power would be so large that you would never be able built a craft that can sustain flight or a ship that can stay afloat.
But I do know that the powers that control the world don't want EVs to happen. You can't tax something that's free. They can't control the supply of the sun or fight wars over its possession.

The biggest obstacle to more solar roof panels remains the initial investment. A system large enough to be off the electric grid will cost at least $30 K and even if you stay in that house for most of your life you'll be lucky to recover the investment.It's crazy that residential solar isn't on every roof in sunny areas, but agree, at least for now, EV's won't replace IC without a huge technological leap.
But as a second fun car, this thing should be fun.
That thing has the same payload at a 20 year old Ford Ranger!Never see an electric airplane?

There's also the lifespan of the solar panels to consider. The newer ones are guaranteed for 25 years with a degradation of 15 % over that lifespan. Solar when purchased with a new house is the best way to go.I think you're right 10 years ago. Not so sure you're right dl today. And they're only going to go down in price.
And the pay back period in AZ or FL is going to be much faster than MN.
