The battery for the Tesla model 2 sounds incredible if the stats are true. Same manufacturer as the MG4 battery, CATL, but new LFP technology that can charge at over 300 kW and isn’t affected negatively by low temperatures. That’s probably one of the main drawbacks of buying an EV now. Not battery life but the technology moving on so fast that any new car you buy is obsolete in a short period.
I think that's another advantate of going for a relatively cheap car at the moment. We can't just sit in an ICE car until EV technology matures, that would be like deciding not to get a Model T but to keep your horse and cart until the Fiesta is available. But not splashing out on something really high-end limits your exposure a bit.
