It is a question more intended for the people that plan to keep his cars for more then 10 years.
If you follow the news, there’s a lot of things that will separate the EV from 2027 (+/- give it or take a year) to the early generations.
From common diagnostic tools, new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries, more standardise charging, more widespread use and support of fast charging, cheaper prices, etc. Legacy autos will finally start to use dedicated and optimise car frames for EV and not adaptations.
In short, there’s a lot coming that may feel to the people with pre 2027 cars that are more outdated and limited, was wonder what you thing about this.
For example I have friends and colleagues that are waiting for this “new generation” of EV to consider the switch.
The transition to EVs will take much longer that the transition from flip phones to smartphones.
I have a friend that still commutes in his dad’s '40 Ford Deluxe, some people like to keep their cars.
I will keep my 2017 EV, not like I need more HP and it does everything very well. Estimates are 400-500K miles on the battery pack before 20% degradation which is fine. I bought extra range.
I keep my cars longer than 10 years and have no qualms recommending buying now. I do have to consider if this is another FUD post.
