continental cars feel solid. But tough EU emission and carbon reduction laws caused their cars to be overly complicated with too much sensors and controls resulting in loss of reliability and high maintenance

So no point buying a 2 tonight paperweight...

plus the gooks

The gooks had ioniq EV's but its just cant make it against Chinese brands. Maybe on design and cost.

All the traditional ICE car makers, including Hyundai which makes the Ioniq were caught off guard by the rise of EVs. They will be playing catchup for a long time, if they can even manage to stay afloat.

Are EVs really taking over Ice n hybrid cars?

Are EVs really taking over Ice n hybrid cars?

AI Overview

Yes, electric cars (EVs) are widely considered the future of personal transportation, driven by government targets to phase out internal combustion engines, rapid technological advancements, and increasing global consumer awareness of their benefits. Factors like improved battery performance, declining costs, a wider range of available models, and the focus of manufacturer research and development on EVs all point towards a significant and accelerating shift away from traditional gasoline-powered vehicles.

AI Overview

While EVs offer benefits like lower running costs and a quieter ride, their future as the sole transportation solution is debated due to challenges such as high purchase prices, insufficient public charging infrastructure, potential grid strain, and concerns about the environmental and social impacts of battery material extraction and manufacturing. Alternative, sustainable models involving diversified energy sources, improved infrastructure, and potentially different forms of transport like improved public transit and e-bikes may be necessary for a viable future.

I view EVs like the way aircraft carriers were viewed b4 WW2...i do believe EVs are the future...n i think in 2 years time demand will accelerate due to the sodium battery ....it seems next year it will be in full production n I for one will switch over when the sodium battery has proven its worth

I prefer EREV.
It has a smaller battery pack which drives the electric motor good for between 100-200 km town driving if charged overnight at home.
And a small ICE engine which acts as a generator for longer distances. The ice engines are tuned to maximise its efficiency at nearly 44% compared to normal ice cars which rotates with a wide rpm making it less efficient at maybe 35%.
EREV has a driving range of over 1000km and if you are tired, can sleep with aircon on using just the batteries. And recharge the car next day using the engine. Can go camping in Luxury.

China is really killing it, leapfrogging everyone in terms of EVs and next gen battery tech.
