    EV’s can also act as a VPP and feed power back into the grid too, stabilising it. Yeah… Those blackouts you guys claim are ALWAYS coming? EV’s can actually help with that…

    Also, Sodium Ion Batteries just got released, which is a huge step up (more environmentally friendly), and Solid State batteries are getting closer and closer.

    Also, batteries get recycled. So yes, those big heavy batteries, are reused, by future batteries (which are likely more efficient). We’re only at the start of Lithium batteries too. Lithium air has made huge developments recently. lithium Air is 5000-11000Wh/kg vs Lithium Ion 300wh/kg. So, with the same weight, that means a Lithium Ion based car could have 16x-30x more range (and we have plenty of lithium here in Australia). Or, 16x smaller batteries (which due to lower curb weight, would be amazingly efficient)

    Unless you’re proposing I ride my bike 60km per day for work? I also do lots of hiking, so, do you propose they run a trainline to the middle of forests? Or do I not hike anymore?

    But judging by the fact you have posts unhappy with the Nazi salute being declared illegal, I’m going to say this is typical right-wing facebook BS

      You are the dumbest person I’ve seen post today.

      re: nazi salute, you don’t understand the purpose of the legislation, it has nothing to do with “nazis,” it’s purpose is to silence dissent, the nazi excuse is so sheeple like you support it unconditionally.

      Similar to EVs. Their purpose is to ensure car development can continue and idiots like you don’t realize that the problem with cars has nothing to do with what powers them. Why do you think you live 60km away from work with no public transit? Because cars force you to.

        I live in Australia where they were banned. There were literally neo Nazis publicly being Nazis trying to make others feel unwelcome and feel like they were in danger. Nazi symbols have been banned in Germany for ages (which should tell you something). If you want to make up some weird conspiracy theory like they’re playing 4d chess, good for you. People like me also got sick of reporting Nazi shit to councils after they took pt to get home and acted like hateful dickheads. I guess you want to keep burning crosses and the kkk legal too eh? Guys like me get sick of removing Nazi stickers though

        The location where I live has nothing to do with cars. Work is located in a more expensive place to live. And even if I move, should I tell my family I can’t see them anymore because they don’t live close enough to me?

        Again, I do hiking (I actually operate a hiking group). You’ve skipped that comment because your argument doesn’t sound great when you start telling people they can’t go outdoors anymore.

        The problem with cars isn’t that they exist. It’s that too many clowns are buying big cars they don’t need, and they need to be designed to be more repairable/modular. More public transport is definitely needed though, and more density of population… But some people like me (even ignoring work) will continue to need a vehicle to get around. I also think emergency services will be more efficient with a car eh

        Battery technology will rapidly catch up. The first big changes have already just come (sodium ion) which is already a step forward. If lithium air happens, it will be a game changer

        Also, I received an award for graduating top 5 people in state in one of my high school subjects… So honestly, I suspect I’m not a total idiot like you claim.
