Hi there,
What type of battery will they develop to have ample storage in relation to power, to have greater autonomy. Something important will be the amount for CO² emissions to manufacture each car, avoiding the large fines.

justsomeguy87, 04 Feb 2021By 2025 you won't be able to buy a petrol or diesal carNot in most part of the world. Electric charging is inefficient for mass adoption everywhere. No one is ready to wait hours to refill / recharge before proceeding further in the middle of a trip. The range , time, battery cost, Source of electricity to be ironed out before thinking of oil replacement 100%

Andreidinutu, 03 Feb 2021Who ever drives electric cars? 300km at best, then 6 hours ... moreI thought about that scenarios. Some manufacturers like MG Hector gives spare battery for long drives. But nothing scarier than getting stuck in a middle of nowhere during odd hours waiting to find a charging station. The infrastructure must support EV revolution along with speedy charging outlets. Total driving time to cover 700 KM may be just 8-9 hrs but with the charging time it could very well be 0-300 4.5 hrs,6 hrs charging,300-600 4.5 hrs, another 4 hrs charging then 1.5 hrs totally 21.5 hrs (instead of 8-9 hrs)

Hope this isno coincidence that I have booked a Kia vehicle just yesterday waiting period 3 months! I kind of impressed with their lineup with premium fittings and great features like Bose Speakers, leather interiors,Infotainment, completely digital dashboard and speedometer, countless other related features. Hyundai looked good but bit expensive. Ford,Tata,Nissan,Renault didn't even bother to call my repeated sales call requests. Honda, Toyota bit out of practicality with their low end high price compact/mid size SUVs.
Kia seems to be good bet by Apple.

i0S...Never...Again, 03 Feb 2021What happened to Hyundai then?? Kia is owned by Hyundai Motors.
Hyundai probably think that a giving the deal to Kia will further boosts Kia's image or to showcase Kia's prowess.

Anonymous, 03 Feb 2021Sustainability and Apple don't mix. One of the leading... moreAbsolutely. I wouldn't want a greedy company like Apple in charge of making a car for me. Repair cost are getting out of hand already, with this they'll get even worse. Especially if you do any kind of heavy (i.e. hauling) work with your vehicle, these Asian built vehicles aren't your best bet...those in the know about trucks will tell you that. City slickers, enjoy the cars from them.
From the article:
"Apparently Kia will handle the production and manufacturing, while Apple will be in control of self-driving hardware, software and user experience, battery technologies, semiconductors and form factor."
So we're gonna have battery gate all over again?

I own Toyota right now, so let's hope issues are thing of the past.
BTW you just have to love Kia as a brand, what other brand is Killed in action?
