I keep thinking 10 years ago, you'd see a "breakthrough" battery article once every few years, maybe, never with anything more than a prototype or just a research paper, and now there are so many teams developing and lab testing new batteries completely and new forms of storage and new ways of translating stored energy into batteries, there's going to be a breakthrough in either battery composition or battery storage that's going to make the range question fairly irrelevant coupled with tens of thousands of chargers being installed every year in the states and charging tech improving so quickly every year as well with teams everywhere trying to be the first ones to make charging as quick as gasoline.

Lithium ion batteries are 30 years old commercially and already solve practical rang anxieties for most drivers. As soon as we figure out whatever the next commercial step in battery storage or energy transfer is(or current tech continues to keep getting more efficient as they have been for the past decade), the range question is over.

I feel like I just read a new article yesterday about some team achieving 10 to 80% ev charging in under 3 minutes.

As an aside, the ev I'm most excited about is the aptera, this three-wheel covered motorcycle.

Lightweight, aerodynamic, high range, passive solar, DIY repairs, fast charging. And it looks pretty futuristic, which is fun.
