Eli5: since electric engines have a lot fewer moving parts, why does it take car manufacturers much longer to develop new electric cars?
In: 7
Because the expertise and experience isn’t there for them. Their gearbox and engine development engineers don’t become high voltage electrical engineers overnight. Neither do they have the software development experience either, ECUs are extremely simple compared to drive inverters.
Volkswagen will soon go under if they cannot solve their ID cars software issues, as an example.
