Why EVs Struggle: The Range Gap Between Electric and Gas-Powered Cars
Doug McIntyre discusses the key challenge facing electric vehicles (EVs): their limited range compared to gas-powered cars. A typical car with a 15-gallon tank can travel over 600 miles, while many EVs only manage about 250 miles on a single charge. The widespread availability of gas stations and the quick refueling process contrast sharply with the scarcity of charging stations for EVs. McIntyre suggests that until EVs can match the 500-600 mile range of gas-powered cars, hybrids and traditional vehicles will remain dominant in the market.
