With almost every major manufacturer having made known their plans of doing away with internal combustion engines within given time lines, it's become apparent that said change coupled with government legislations worldwide would ultimately force all of us into EVs.
For me, what makes me anxious is well, the range anxiety that comes with these EVs.
That and the time it takes to charge up to get any reasonable range out of them should you run low on 'juice' in the middle of a journey.
For example, in my line of work, loaded up with a 522kg engine from mining machinery in the bed of a Ford ranger pickup, the thing can do just about 560km on a full tank of diesel, and 600km+ unladen on the return trip doing a maximum corporate limited speed of 100kph.
As you can imagine, most mines aren't exactly in the heart of the city, and fuel stations can be hours apart on some of these trips, yet carrying a 20ltr gallon in the bed is added assurance of a few 100kms added should you miss a turn and waste a bit of fuel trying to find your way.....and yes, I assure you Google does not even see roads in some of the places I've been, and you still can get lost.
The way I see it, they seem to have the passenger car segment figured out so far, but they would need to come right when it comes to commercial vehicles, and not exactly the kind driven by the milkman.
It remains to be seen the solutions that will be proposed for long range work vehicles that would not affect load space while allowing for range-sapping loads such as air-conditioning in harsh conditions such as the Australian outback or Africa.
