> Oh there were 400 mile cars cheaper than ice cars before?
Neither gas nor electric cars got that kind of range when they first launched in the early 1900s. But as is true today, gasoline engines got about 20% more range than the electric and were easy to fill.
> This isn't a hype cycle, there are entire car companies in mass production with equal to ice costs now, and the cheaper than ice can ever be is in production scaling.
As there was before. Entire car companies went out of business because they chose to make electric cars instead of gas.
> Very real problems
I’ll name a few:
Battery decreases range with ambient temperature changes
Cannot refuel outside of a charging station
Battery degrades with every charge
Fire hazard having that much energy in a battery that it’s not an if it will fail but a when
