Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge
frezik@midwest.social 9 months agoLet’s take the absolute worst case I could find for North America: in Quebec between Matagami and Radisson there is a 620km (390mi) distance between gas stations. This exceeds the range of many ICE cars, but let’s continue. It gets real cold up there, and there’s a few days out of the year where it’s well below 0F. So let’s increase that distance by 40% to get to about 550mi.
There is one EV on the market right now with a 516mi range, the Lucid Air. So it can’t quite make it under the absolute worst case conditions, but neither could many ICE cars.
This problem is completely overblown.

Gas cans do exist. You can’t carry a substation with you.

Great, that will help you drive right past the point.
