Hi all,
I am still not an EV driver, but considering it. I have been studying ev-database website quite a lot (EV Database), very useful site.
On a sleepless night mid-Feb, I extracted and plotted some of its data. I am not particularly good in statistics, but I could see a broad correlation between price, range and max charging rate (higher price = higher range = higher max charging rate).
It strikes me as a potential new inequality in the making. In comparison, with petrol/diesel cars I don't think range is a significant problem and my perception is rather higher price = bigger car = higher fuel consumption = higher running cost.
What do you think?
tab delimited table attached for people who would like to check the data.
By the way, am I the only one to find shocking that only Tesla cars can be charged at Tesla Supercharger (my understanding of Tesla Network - charging guide & cost, another of my favorite sites these days) ? A bit as if a major petrol station brand was only serving let's say Mercedes cars ? You might sometime grumble about price but you can fill a petrol car at any station. I heard already some people's anwer "you need to think differently, in the future you won't use a car to do long travel....". Well, it looks to me like it is rather going to be, "in the ev future, only the rich people will be able to use a car to do long travel".... I would be happy to be proven wrong
