More and more people are buying electric cars or considering one as their next purchase, but EVs do have a problem: the battery. The range for most cars isn’t where manufacturers and consumers would want it to be. Also, charging times can differ in speed, which can be a problem depending on what sort of trips you’re taking.
Then there’s the actual battery health to consider, as the battery will degrade in time, requiring an expensive replacement. That’s assuming buyers won’t rather buy a brand-new EV car.
The lifespan of an electric car’s battery also opens up environmental concerns. Ideally, that EV...

Toyota has taken a bold approach with the all-new Camry by ditching the much-loved V-6 powertrain option, while only keeping the four-cylinder hybrid option. Toyota motivates this decision by revealing that most of its customers prefer their Camry models with a downsized engine by a near 94-percent margin. Toyota's hybrid systems are some of the most appreciated and admired pieces of drivetrain technology thanks to the brand's nearly 27-year experience in the field that dates back to the original Camry.

As you might imagine, the staff here at InsideEVs has a lot of thoughts about electric cars and the future of transportation. Arguably, we'd be healthier, more well-rounded people if we thought less about EVs. Most likely, we'd be more fun at parties too. But that's not really our jam...

The Future Electric Vehicles We're Most Excited About

There are a lot of factors that determine how much power an internal combustion engine makes, but the biggest is simply how fast it can consume fuel. This is true in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated drivetrains. While turbo or supercharged engines can get away with smaller displacements, because they force the fuel into the combustion chambers, the best way to make more ponies with air-breathers is to increase the cubic inches.

The Largest Displacement V8 Ever Put In An American Car

One of the main sticking points to the wider adoption of electric vehicles in the United States and beyond is the high cost of a new EV. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price of a new combustion car in the U.S. in June was $48,644, while new EVs had an average MSRP of $56,371.

According to a recent tweet by Tesla citing Consumer Reports, it has been reiterated that Teslas are the least expensive to maintain long term, ranking at the very top. This should not come as a surprise, considering that electric vehicles require far less frequent servicing than ICEs due to their inherently lower count of moving mechanical parts.
