So Bill Gates pollutes like a Mfer and then just throws money at it to make it ok......laughable
You know I never thought of that but it’s true. If you stop for gas in a shitty place it’s a 5 minute stop. Stopping to charge ya Rusta at least 20 minutes or more. Makes you very vulnerable. Wow. Not good.
I like the battery pack method, simply because of how fast you are back on your way compared to todays method of waiting for a charge, though not sure how to scale it to a vehicle that drives 300 miles/charge and across platforms. Here's a company that does it for ebikes and stuff. Would keep a close eye on everything via revolving inventory too. "Back on your way in 6 seconds"
You could insert "gas/diesel" into everywhere you wrote battery and it would still be the same story, minus the refueling. ICE ain't perfect either. Seems we are in the midst of a paradigm shift of transportation technologies and will have to live through the slow and painful process of infrastructure developments and conversion.
Never heard of those, I did hear they wanted to use a server blade approach for their batteries which would allow them to stack etc. Probably could morph relatively easily into swapping them out at quick change stations. Instead of a texaco on every corner, it would be a Teslaco.
carbon credits, its so dumb.
It is huge business. Refineries and power plants are actually making large purchases based on carbon credits....I mean, like changing out major pieces of equipment, it’s not that they are saving a ton (no pun intended) of money in higher efficiently it’s that their rated consumption goes down so that they are, on paper, able to sell more carbon credits.
how many yachts and private jets were at the google meeting on climate last week or 2? lol
I'm sorry but I don't see the correlation. Gas is available everywhere and easy to access and takes no time at all. Nothing to plan out just get in your car and drive and when you need gas it's never a problem. How is that not different?
I completely agree that they're different levels of going out of your way/getting caught in a pinch, but gas runs out too eventually if you're stuck on the highway or if you're on a long route with "no gas for next 50 miles" signs then youre planning out your fueling route through the nav the same way etc.. The same fundamental issue applies. Of course a gas station is easier to come by, and infrastructure for EV's is low, but you can trip across the US in an EV or charge your battery by driving down a road in sweden: EV-charging roads have arrived. Here's why we do (and don't) need them.
Not only is gas more available and easier to find the real crux of it is you don't have to sit for 20-40 minutes like a moron waiting.
Possibly/probably true....
Haven't you heard? 25% of all power in Texas is wind. And nat gas is like half the footprint of gas cars. So we good.
But you still have to go to gas stations. I've only supercharged a dozen times ever.
Tesla Tazer in next update
Most EV's do all the planning for you,.too.
Well this target is armed, trained, fit, and I've gotten decent at Judo. Not sure where you saw my profile but if you fuck with me while charging I won't hesitate to flip you then shoot you. Twice.
