Eberhard /// We’ll See 500-Mile Batteries By 2020
Martin Eberhard, who knows a thing or two about electric vehicles, says we’ll see batteries with 500 miles of range within 10 years.
Whether anyone will need that kind of range is beside the point, because of course most people won’t. But Eberhard’s broader point in his brief interview with Britain’s Autocar is we won’t be worrying about range anxiety much longer.
“At the current rate of progress, I’d say we will have banished the range anxiety problem and will be making EVs with greater than 500 miles of operational range within 10 years,” he says. “At that point, the further development of fast charging infrastructure won’t be so important — because how often do you drive more than 500 miles in a day?”
