I wonder why some people even feel pressure to consider EV when it doesn't suit their lifestyle?
Can go with ICE car just need to bear with higher petrol prices in the near future.
ICE is here to stay, at least for our lifetime. EV is not meant for everyone, just alternative for people who wants and can afford to try something different.

It’s up to them to adopt EV. If they feel they like it and can change their lifestyle to accommodate EV, then what is wrong? Nobody put a gun on your head to buy EV. So why the criticism on EV buyers?
Lasting 50 years sounds fantastic, but how many consumers want that? I don't want to be driving my car for 50 years Range is more important than lifespan. How about 2000km range per charging cycle lasting 15 years? This will be more than sufficient and ideal.

The 50 years is sort of marketing talk lah. Today the fear is you need to change the batteries after just a few years. This 50 year gives some assurance that you don’t have to change the battery anymore
In 8 months, CATL improved their EV battery charging speed from 400kms in 10 mins to 600kms in 10 mins. What you're asking for might be achievable by the end of this year.
So now you have free energy (from the sun) extracted by panels which lasts 20-30 years, which is then stored in batteries lasting 50 years, which is then 90%-99% recyclable. Is this not revolutionary? When the world has this tech, we can finally stop the wars and exploitation over control of oil.

Some ppl mahu gaya. See the numerous Vellfire/Alphard being rented out during balik Kampung?
ICE will evolve. No need wait a lifetime. By 2030, and with further improvements to battery technology, we will know where the car industry will be heading.
This guys says its the safest EV battery in the world right now. They throw it in seawater, throw it in 1000C fire, simultaneously puncture it at 8 places and wait for 1 hour, shot it with a 5.8mm bullet and drove a 26 ton steamroller on it.
They might as well build an APC with this battery.
