Shit just make an actually efficent car and you don't need that massive of a battery to get those ranges. Instead manufacters keep pushing this hideous EV SUVs. The model 3 gets 40 more miles of range out of essentially the same car, just are more aerodynamic shape.
I still don't understand why not a single car company besides Tesla in its early days is like, shit, let's look at what consumers actually value and build it. Easy cash grab that puts us ahead of the curve. But no.
That's the beauty of capitalism.
We could build what consumers actually want. Or we could force them into something they don't want but makes us more money.
