Talking about price to "fill up" is irrelevant, as that price actively rises the more strain there is on the electrical system and the more they swap out efficient energy generation with inefficient energy generation.
The price of an EV to fill up in 10 years -- assuming your battery lives that long -- will rise substantially and look nowhere near the same as it does now.
Some people hate on EVs for the wrong reasons, but some people apparently have a very short sighted view on the things they proclaim as positive to boot.
The batteries on my newest EV (Ioniq5) will outlive the car itself. A very good estimate is that the pack will have at least 60% SoH in 20 years, that’s 168mi of range, not a huge amount, but good enough to get you to and from work if you charge two-three times a week (total of 10 hours/charging during the week).
There’s currently an Ioniq 5 running as a taxi here in Scandinavia that just passed 80.000mi, battery health still 100%. it seems that age degradation will be the biggest impact on this generation of battery packs.
The improvements in BMS tech, battery packs and the use of buffers to avoid use/misuse of the top/bottom voltages has had an enormous impact the last couple of years.
Economy wise is very difficult to predict. But I still think you’ll be able to find 10 hours a week where the electricity price will still be reasonable.
The problem I see is if NWO/WEF (great reset) wins over the great awakening.
Then we’ll see great restrictions in how we travel, and we’ll be screwed anyway.
My money is on TGA, or I wouldn’t be here, and I see a great future where ICE and BEVs can live side by side, like petrol and diesel used to do.
And then it comes down to funfactor per dollar, and imho that category is currently topped by BEVs.
