900 miles on charge?

Claiming 900 miles on charge. Now we’re talking!!! If affordable for masses?

That would be a game changer for sure

My two AA batteries in my tv remote have lasted nearly 18 months so far!:icon_wink:

Don't know why, but I just not ready for electric vehicles.

It's the battery that's the heart of these units that make up most of the cost and performance.
Until they develop a lifetime battery with 900 - 1000-mile range, then you'll get my attention.

I think the biggest obstacle will be that most people do not have a garage for charging. There are millions of people who will not have access to a charging station.

Right now Tesla offers a 8 year 100,000 battery warranty. Many folks claim to have over a million miles with slight battery degradation in charging. There is no car company in the world that will warranty anything over a 100,000 mile warranty on a engine( I believe). 900-1000 mile range per charge is probably just the beginning on range . I would bet in the next 5-10 years all manufacturers will hit this range if not further.

True
But the current administration is spending a fortune on adding charge stations nationwide. Right now I plug in every night ( cheaper rates) and a full charge 320 miles no more gas ever!! Think about any normal driver how many miles do they drive a day maybe 20 to 50 tops? Long range travel 500 miles a day stop once or twice. As it has been discussed many many times on this forum electric cars are not for everyone but when you get to a 900 mile range I think it’ll change many peoples minds especially when gas it’s $10 a gallon soon

$ 10 per gallons sure hope not.

I love it.........
You THINK this will change peoples minds.
You THINK gas will go to $10 a gallon soon.

I THINK I'll take my chances and wait and see.

900 would be a game changer. We'll see what happens once they actually start manufacturing batteries and after 2024 when they plan to turn their attention to EVs. Good news, but futureware at this point.

And when they achieve a 1000 mile range you’ll want 2,000

What people don't stop and think about is...."where does electricity come from?" You have to have power to make power and that comes from (gasp) oil!!! Also what to do with ALL those batteries when you want to throw them out? Not too "green" now. Wouldn't be enough charging stations to serve all who can afford to buy these things. I'll stick with my "gas-driven" car!!

Electricity is going to go up, sooner or later government (local and federal) going figure out taxing it. IMO in the end will be be about same cost. When range and cost becomes realistic for masses I’m all in.

These are all the same types of issues that faced the move to internal combustion, and they were "solved", mostly in bad ways. Hopefully this time it's done more thoughtfully, but I'm not holding my breath on that front. But, the train has left the station - in 10 (maybe 15) years you will not be able to buy a new gas powered auto.

All need is 220V outlet. Eventually apartments will have hookup is parking spots. I sure they will take cut of the pie?
