EVs the way they are now are just a bit stupid for anyone that doesn't have a good space to charge. On the scale we want to move around we need shared resources to be efficient but everyone feels like they need to own everything they use. Large scale shared vehicles would be best but failing that we need standardized batteries that can just be swapped out in seconds at a charging station. It's already super common in Asia for small vehicles.
Early on this was talked about with evs and it would be like a robotic system to swap them out but I think there was to many complications. I can see why it would work with smaller vehicles being human swapable.
good way to burn down your apartment.
Good point as its much larger than a bicycle one. Maybe will need the solids state. Sorta funny they put it as the last excuse as it seems like those are pretty close.
20 miles would weigh about 100 pounds. This is napkin math based on my 5kWh LFP batteries and 4ish miles per kWh.
Charging a battery like that at home would be way too dangerous. Even charging an e-bike or e-scooter battery should be done with care and not overnight, when you are sleeping.
I also park on the street (or to be precise, my wife does, I take the bus) and have the same problem. Guess our next car will be just a regular hybrid, maybe a plug-in hybrid. An EV is just not an option atm for anyone unable to charge at home. Maybe if the municipalities would finally start to really invest into the infrastructure...
I feel you as the car is my wifes and that is what I would like. A plug in hybrid.
