Hydrogen is the way forward, or bio-ethanol. If you can't see how bad electric cars are then you need a wake up call, the technology isn't there yet and others are soon to take over. |
Yup - mostly coal generation for electricity up here...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire battery pack replacement for a tesla $30,000?
It's also 1,000 pounds, 7ft by 4ft..
And only lasts 3 years.
Imagine a landfill stacked with those!
