>>1119455>range isn't the practical issue people think it isNo, its a huge issue. Its the reason the pre Tesla EV mobiles where basically glorified mini scooters.
Or gimmick mobiles with half an hour of range.
Because the reality of car life is that you will drive 70-80km/h, and it can quickly escalate to 1-3 hours each way, for any longer drive.
And thats before you start considering things like battery wear, or weather conditions reducing capacity a little.
There is a reason the Tesla of 2012 came with 370km of Range, which is a bit more than 4 hours of driving. It means its possible to give no fucks about range, and then charge it overnight if you travel that far. Or with a supercharger and go eat dinner.
Its possible to commute from a city to a neighbor city.
Its possible to use it as a commute tool, but not have to plug it after each short drive.
Let me repeat that: Range is the biggest issue. Then comes acceleration and compartment size.
EVs before Tesla, as far back as they where produced for tax cut reasons, used to fail at all 3 bulletin points.

Forklifts and deports for maintenance is already a thing, so infrastructure do exist to some degree.
For personal vehicles? No.
