This Is The Future Of EV Technology…Maybe – InsideEVs

Hello and welcome to another edition of I Speak Electric onBest EV.Today we are peering into our crystal ball and trying to predict the futureof EV technology!Itsgoing to be tough, lets face it. But at least we can have a bit of fun trying.Now theres no way were going to cover it alltodayso well take our pick of a few topics and get stuck into some details.Batteries, Range & ChargingItsimpossible to predict how muchand how fastrange is going to improve. Only ten years ago, the first modern mass-produced EVssuch as the Renault Zoewas coming on stream. And we were seeing a range in these cars of around100km. Although this was plenty to do most peoples daily commute, itwasnthugely impressive.Fast forward to 2021werebeing given some cars that will easily pass 400km, and in favorable conditions go above 600km. Youhave tothink that we may well see the 1,000km mark reached at some stage in the not-too-distant future.

Other modes of transport

Sofarweve only talked about cars. But as we all know, the carisntthe only means of transportation. Now, it seems to be in the world of private transportation that themost advanced EVtechnology is being fosteredjusttake a lookat how Tesla has driven this on.Butwerestarting to see the technology being applied elsewhere.In countries like Norwayand Denmark,werestarting to see electric ferries being rolled out.

It seems the future of EV may include all forms of transport.Powering our EVs

Wevetouched on charging our cars in this video already and how that might change, but we didnt mention where the power is going to come from. This is something that is changing rapidly.

Microgrids and self-sufficiency will be more widespread. People will increasingly have solar panels fitted to their roofs. Shopping centers and schools will have solar fitted and can charge cars with the excess energy produced during the day.Only time will tellhow far advanced this becomes, butitsan exciting period in history.Summary

Well,itsbeen fascinating to take a look into the future like that! Butalsoincredibly difficultI mean just look at the pace of change over the last decade.Soits next to impossible to accurately predict what type of cars well be driving in 10years' time.

Wedlove to hear from you.Have we over, or under-estimated any technology today?What future EV technology are you most excited about?
