they are improving rapidly.in terms of charge time and distance -Yup.
Those things are miles away from being a rational choice for the vast majority of consumers.
the problem is China is sucking up all the rare earth metals material for battery production,A typical electric car (60kWh battery) takes just under 8 hours to charge from empty-to-full with a 7kW charging point. Most drivers top up charge rather than waiting for their battery to recharge from empty-to-full. For many electric cars, you can add up to 100 miles of range in ~35 minutes with a 50kW rapid charger.
and im nt sure how the batteries ae recycleable.
I suppose if we throw enough subsidies it can happen -the problem is we'll be hurting our industry while helping China
