But it is a now problem too, because if the only way apartments can support their tenants cars is by exceeding their power capacity, battery powered EVs may not be the correct bet.


Long term, I think the utility of hydrogen is going to win out. You can make a hydrogen airplane.

You can’t do that with batteries.

Here’s a fun number: 1kg of hydrogen stores 236 more times the energy than 1kg of lithium ion.

You can fuel a hydrogen car in them same amount of time as a gas one.

Supercharging takes a full episode of Breaking Bad, and it’s not even good for the one the plebs can afford.

The battery “doesn’t like heat”.

Oh.

These cars are goofy.
