Re EV’s
Yup it is the Battery that is the problem. Saw a good comment recently that said the science behind the battery had not changed/cannot change, all that had changed was the metals, which have allowed some progress….but it will take something that has alluded mankind for over 100 years, to ever make them really viable.
As to why we are chasing them….loads of reasons, but many that are dodgy….There is a real danger that the Car industry may collapse, especially in Germany, as the rush to EV’s may well turn into fiasco, as no-one is buying them. The Car industry is Germany’s biggest employer, over 800,000…if Germany falls over, then so does Europe, then the Euro goes…which will take out the World financial system…etc, etc.
