How long will we need oil?15 Apr 2021 15:59
As previously said, it was determined by the scientists who's. data was taken from the present batteries being used at the time, and they evaluated that we would need 3 new power stations to generate the power to charge all the batteries. how long does it take to build a nuclear power station. Which realistically is the future needed solution. We then add to this solution the timescale it would take for our government to negotiate a deal, then factor in time construction will take! 10/20 /30 years?
Now we have and they are endeavouring to produce more powerful quick charge batteries, this creates problems.
1). We will need more power stations than first thought.
2). The problem with fast charge high capacity batteries need higher amperage chargers and the domestic power supply cannot supply this high amperage, therefore your domestic supply will have to be changed to a 2 phase supply. 3 phase if you have more household vehicles.
3). This will cost, and when one factors into the equation X million households needing conversation how long will that take.
4). I will leave the problems of the number of vehicles that are parked on the public, to you own determination.
5). Then we have the problem of on street parking and the problems that will create.
To add to the list of numerous products that require oil to manufacture, pharmaceutical products need it, and not for the heating process. H as an example how many aspirin tablets are produced per annum. Research will indicate how much of the world's oil production, is not used to power vehicles. One also needs to be factored into the equation, as third world countries progress their economies, realistically one car households will not be the norm, their children will want a car as do ours, and the logistics of scale etc. Means oil fueled engines will be with us much longer than the dreamers think!
