Sales for electric vehicles in the U.S. and worldwide will reach their highest levels ever this year. But a big sticking point remains. Even with tax incentives and rebates, the price for EVs is still thousands of dollars higher than their gas-guzzling cousins. The Biden administration set 2030 as the goal for when half of all new vehicles sold would be electric powered. The question is, can we get there? Duncan Wood, vice president for strategy & new initiatives at the Wilson Center, a non-profit thinktank, joins The Excerpt to talk about the possibilities and what it will take for this growing market to mature.

Need more choices than just electric...

I live in a very hot climate, not allowing an ev in my garage or driveway or anywhere near my house, so when it spontaneously combusts, I won't lose my home. It does happen here and more than many would like to believe.

EV market share peaked at about 40% around 1910. As unpopular as EVs are today, the only way we can be dragged back there is by forcibly limiting IC sales. That's how they did it in Norway. 85% new sales EV, during the worst auto sales in 60 years. And like everywhere else, those subsidized EV sales were mostly to corporate and govt fleets, not consumers.

Batteries are the biggest single cost of an electric vehicle. Over the last few years that cost has dropped significantly but not enough to encourage buyers. What could make a significant change in overall cost are sodium-ion batteries. Chinese manufacturer CATL has been manufacturing this type of battery which has some major advantages over lithium-ion. No rare earth minerals. Cold doesn't affect performance or charging. And unlike Li ion batteries there is no fire hazard. As battery technology advances, prices drop and charging infrastructure fills out demand will rise.

Need more choices than just electric Also the electric vehicles need a learning curve for the older customers for charging the vehicles Charging stations are behind the electric vehicle’s technologies

This guy already implied it, the govt has to not only impose incentives for EV purchases, but penalties for ICE cars, which is inevitably coming to the U.S.

This is why us ICE drivers keep shouting that the Govt is ramming this crap down on us with clearly no proper planning. Hopefully, Trump Stops all this Boondoggle BS as 7 Billion dollars for 7 EV chargers is just too expensive for the world.
