fairytale fabricated by tech grifters […] the energy density of petrol is still so much higher than a modern Lithium-ion battery, how can electric vehicles be viable competitors? Simple, they cheat. […] we’ve been gaslit […] extra weight makes them far more dangerous in a crash and it means that you’re wasting a lot of energy […] doubling the weight does 16x the damage to the roads
It’s astonishing the amount of people not understanding that EVs are not a mature technology at all and the goal of all of this is to make the market grow to improve research and industry.
Yes lithium pollutes but no, the mid term goal is not to keep making batteries out of it.
Same for batteries mass and volume.
Not saying that EVs are perfectly clean tho, don’t get me wrong.
