What obstacles remain for mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs)? If a portion of early EV buyers choose the high cost EV to obtain maximum driving range, and other EV buyers choose the lower cost EV and sacrifice driving range, what type of EV will auto manufacturers need to offer to capture the mainstream car buyer? The obvious answer is to offer an affordable EV that also solves the range issue. This paper looks at true fast charging as an enabling technology to accomplish this.
