One silver lining for future EV owners is the rapid advancement in battery technology. I own a Tesla Model 3 with a lower range, and for my daily commuting and city errands, it provides more than enough charge.

Where range anxiety kicks in is on longer trips. Sadly, as noted in my earlier post, America’s charging infrastructure is still not quite there. But imagine this: future EVs with these new batteries could boost ranges to 600-900 miles. You could drive from Charlotte, NC, to New Orleans (about 700 miles) without needing to recharge.

Of course, these long-range capabilities will be available in premium models, but as technology progresses, each new generation of EVs will benefit from these advancements. This battery trickle-down effect ensures continual improvements across the market – and over the next decade battery tech could kill range anxiety.

Multiple automakers have been testing product samples, bringing them closer to hitting the market. But like most new technologies, they won’t be cheap.
