Too simplistic.An yes, batteries will get better. So what? If an 200 mile (or 85 mile) EV is good enough for you now, chances are it will be in the future. So what if batteries double in capacity in x years? If you don't need it now, you probably won't need it in the future.
Cars (or any product for that matter) have constraints. Some of them get lifted over time. Typical example is Bluetooth. Cars from the last decade didn't somehow become less useful - but were simply not good enough because of new possibilities involving rapid innovation in an entirely new area - phones.
I've been driving 1 80 mile EV for 5 years - but I've been waiting for a 200 mile EV so that I can drive further than I can now.
Similarly, 3 would have better AP in future years. That would be greatly helpful.
