nah tehchnology isn't good eough that's all. i can't speak about companies from other countries but in germany there is a huge amount invested to find better battery technologies and the last year the technique got very much better. it's still not good enough to drive long distances but if it will advance like it did the last few years it won't take so much anymore until we get cars for a normal use.
here in some cities/villages you can load you car in car parks and this is enough to drive to work, do some shopping, load your car parking there and after work and shopping you drive back with a full car.it looks like this
no clue how they use this technology in usa or other countires but in germany and i believe i read something about some cities in uk it won't take so long anymore to have a great infrastructure for electro-cars.
we get more and more petrol stations who let you load your battery and in a few years it will be much more here. they load your car very fast to 80% (not more because this speed loading would destroy the batteries otherwise) but the batteries are still not good enough for long distances but yeah i believe in one decade we will have nice electro-cars.
i mean, companies like vw invest billions every year for this technology i don't think they would do that if they would have the technology just to troll us.
and i remeber like 20 years ago my neighbour had an electro-car but it was absolutely shit. i just have to see batteries for mobile phones and how shit they were 10 years ago compared to batteries nowadays no wonder the electro-cars in the past were bad...
fuel is very cheap in usa compared to europe so i wouldn't wonder seeing a lot of electro cars here in 10-15 years and like none in usa because of the price. we hope for good electro-cars here because fuel is abnormal expensive and too expensive for many people nowadays. if i would live in usa i wouldn't care, i believe you pay like a third for the same. just imagine you would have to pay three times more than you have to nowadays and you would pay more for electro-cars as well.
