I've made this argument for years. Electric cars are not the long term solution. Hydrogen fuel cells are what will win at the end of the day.

Plus, if everyone suddenly got electric vehicles, recharging them would overload the grid to the point of meltdown. Our current electrical grid can't handle that.

I've said for years it's a fraud. Not surprised in the least. Those batteries are the equivalent of automotive plutonium.

I asked him if his fancy batteries grew on trees. He looked at me confused. I pointed out the "fancy metals" to make his car do more harm in making them that the recycled materials in my Suburban. |

Maybe, but as long as electric cars are a) the fastest vehicles on the road, and b) can be refueled in my garage without having to ever go to a gas station, then that's what I'm going to choose.

I said "lets do a real race, NewYork...to LA. I'll drive a Chevy Cruze, and give you a 2 days head start". He hesitated, then kinda chuckled. His 2 motor Tesla model 3 goes 12 flat in the 1/4 mile; very respectable. But, a base C7 goes mid-high 11's in the1/4 mile, Z06 in low 11's... ZR1 can get in the high 10's Quote:
sorry. |

I see Fuel cell for awhile being a great solution for stationary power systems but I don't think we will see it commonly in cars in the next 10 years. We WILL see more electrics though as battery tech continues to improve but as has been pointed out lots of hidden issues with electric vehicles. |

Plus the extra battery needed to mimic the large sound of open headers.......and much less the speakers to broadcast it.....
