The new standards are part of a broad push to get more Americans into electric vehicles, and reduce the environmental cost of driving.

    ICE vehicles do not have a hard limit on their range. They can refuel in a few minutes. Even with supercharger stations available your not getting that range. Companies also advertise mileage per charge in the best conditions and driving style. Most EVs do not make the ranges claimed.

    And yes I did read it, 350 miles was the average range, this still is nothing if it cannot be recharged in a few minutes.

    EVs have their place, but they’re still a ways off from replacing ICE vehicles.

      Takes 10-20m to charge to 80% on most EVs today at a L3 station. Just trying to make sure you’re informed.

      Do you think advertising standards are different for EVs compared to ICE vehicles?

        How many lvl3 stations are out there outside the cities? Hell how many L3 stations are in the city? And 80% charge now isn’t getting you full range. I know exactly how EVs work and operate, they’re still not ready to replace ICE vehicles in anything other than city drivers. They’re getting better and better but it’s just not there yet.
