Tide turning?4 Apr 2023 11:55
It's beginning to feel like the tide is turning against EV's as the long term future, but surely things have gone do far down that track that EV's are here for a couple of decades at least as the only viable mass-production alternative to ICE ? Sure hydrogen may run alongside and eco-fuels with 0% carbon outputs, etc., but EV's and lithium batteries surely the main option up to 2040 or so? News yesterday mentioned serious doubts about safety of EV's in even minor crashes dud to battery damage easily caused and risk of serious fires, plus write-offs if battery is damaged at all due to lack of engineers with knowledge to remove safely and replace or repair, so costs too high for consumers and insurance industry to be commercial en masse long term. All very thought provoking and concerning.
