Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Obsolete? No way. Even a Nissan Leaf from 2014 with a pretty degraded battery has tremendous value to a lot of people and would for a very long time still.
Plugging in and home, anything with even ~40-50 miles of range would work for a lot of situations.
Itโs not even close to say a VCR where you would struggle to even find access to media or you have a better cheaper alternative more easily accessible.
1) Most people don't need 500 mile range
2) Those 500 mile range cars are still really expensive
No

Christ, can people stop talking about these like they're smartphones?
They are a method of transport. They get you from one place to another. Unless the car cannot function anymore or has some flaw that prevents that from occuring, it will still have value.
It's for the same reason why ICE cars will not suddenly be worthless and be scrapped even if they have a lot of miles left in them.
500 mile range is awesome. But for me personally, I want to see more advancements in charging speeds. Iโm all in on getting an EV for my next car in 2022, but my partner is more skeptical. We road trip a decent amount, and she do not like the idea of having to stop for 30 minutes every 2-3 hours to charge. Thatโs why Iโm so interested in the Ioniq 5 and EV6, because they can charge 10-80% in just 18 minutes. Thatโs awesome. Iโd personally rather see fastest charging than longer ranges. But both would be nice of course.
Nice video, informative.
Not what I expected from the splash screen, thought it would compare cars, not batteries.
