I've been thinking more about what it will take for electric vehicles to truly break into mainstream usage. Those vehicles will, in my opinion, be true, third-generation electric vehicles, breaking away from the public perception of short battery ranges and slow recharging times.
But as I considered those factors, I realized what is most important. And it's not the specific numbers (e.g., one vehicle has a 10-minute recharge to 80% while another vehicle has a 9-minute recharge to 80%). It's that true, third-generation electric vehicles need to return to driving being more about the driver, and less about the car. In a word, I would call most of our electric vehicles at this point "narcissistic." They demand that the driver pay attention to them, and most importantly, change for them.
Regardless of how you, as a driver, prefer to drive. It appears that the Porsche Taycan might be the first electric vehicle to return the driving experience to being about the driver, and not about the technology. Let me know what you think!
