Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

Tesla's progress is still evolving.

With Supercharger V3 outputting 250 kW, Tesla owners can gain 75 miles of range in a mere 5 minutes.

We're looking at a moving target. Not a stable mature situation such as gas mpg.

Tesla is a moving target for old players that is harder to hit because it is moving forward each day. Foresight seems to have been short in the link below.

Petrol and diesel car sales ban brought forward to 2035


A ban on selling new petrol, diesel or hybrid cars in the UK will be brought forward from 2040 to 2035 at the latest, under government plans.

The change comes after experts said 2040 would be too late if the UK wants to achieve its target of emitting virtually zero carbon by 2050.

Boris Johnson unveiled the policy as part of a launch event for a United Nations climate summit in November.

given the cost of electricity, EV vehicles cannot be cost effective if charged by the metered electric mains.. compare the price per KWH per mile vs. liquid fuels, no comparison..

Have you seen the price of fuel in the UK?

Where do you live to be paying $0.30 per kilowatt hour?

Sounds like it is for real.

Yeah I bet they were a bit shocked at TESLA stock price today...

Closed at $887.06 today but peaked at over $961 earlier in the day.

Time to have bought was around last June when it bottomed ~$178

I guess they got their eyes open that EV's are going to hurt the value of their black gold in the coming decades.

Anyone reading the news knows EV's are going to be more and more common. The ban on gas and diesel vehicles in the USA is not until 2040 but a change in DC could change it like it did in the UK.

Yes it would be nice to own some Tesla stock but my few marbles are tied up in my business today.

To my knowledge, there is no law on the books to justify a statement that gas and diesel vehicles will be banned in the USA in 20 years.

IMO...The only bans on ICE vehicles any of us will ever see (here in the US) will be bans on certain places in urban areas, certain roads etc. and most common will be certain lanes of multi-lane highways etc...

I doubt it will be optional long term from what I read. Things got rolled back after last change in the White House so there will be pent-up desires released when we change horses next time I expect.
