first for kawaii ginetta

when we invent a whole different type of battery or can implement solar panels to at least increase range until then lithium just isn't gonna cut it

It's definitely coming. We're already at around 250-300 with that new Tesla that just came out. It may not sound like a big deal, but then again, consider what the EV market looked like five years ago. Maybe in another five years we'll get to 400.

Though DESU, most people on the road today would be fine with an EV even with less range, considering that the average commute isn't necessarily that far. The problem is that people are picky and usually look for excuses to get out of making a change. You'll get people like:

>my average commute a day is 15 miles
>this Leaf only does 100 miles on one charge? but what if I suddenly wanted to just get in the car and drive 500 miles on a whim, despite having my life and schedule structured in a way that would be virtually impossible for this to happen?
>guess I'll just have to make do with this fuck-huge SUV that gets 15 MPG
>gas will be cheap forever, right, guys?

If you could get even 10% of those people to switch to EVs, the market would be entirely different.
