The popularity of electric vehicles is growing rapidly. That’s because, EVs have many advantages over traditional cars, such as being more environmentally friendly. However, there are still some significant drawbacks to EVs, such as range and charging time. In an interview, Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson made an interesting claim about the future of EVs. He said that the EV of the future will only need a range of 250 miles and buying short range vehicles will not be a problem for drivers. Here are the details…
The EV of the Future Only Needs 250 Miles
Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson believes that the future of electric vehicles will have a range of 250 miles. He thinks that battery technology will improve enough by the time the next generation of EVs is released that a small battery pack will be able to provide this range. This would make EVs more affordable, as the cost of battery packs is a major factor in the overall price of an EV.
Rawlinson also believes that the development of faster charging infrastructure will make it less necessary for EVs to have a long range. With fast charging, drivers will be able to quickly recharge their EVs even if they don’t have a long range. Of course, not everyone agrees with Rawlinson’s assessment.
Some people believe that EVs will still need a long range in order to be practical for long-distance travel. However, Rawlinson’s point of view is worth considering, as it could lead to the development of more affordable and practical EVs in the future. In addition to his thoughts on the future of EVs, Rawlinson also talked about Lucid’s plans to become a technology leader in the EV industry.
He said that Lucid is not only interested in making its own EVs, but also in licensing its technology to other automakers. Rawlinson believes that this is the best way to accelerate the adoption of EVs and help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
