If Chinese firms are selling super fast charging, long range driving EVs in Asia, Europe, Africa, Canada, and Central and South America, where’s the future market for U.S. internal combustion engine vehicles? It may be time to rethink their strategy on EVs. πŸ€” πŸ§ͺπŸ’‘πŸ”Œβ˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ’§πŸ”‹
Even in the United States, our power grid is shifting to low carbon emissions generation. When you built out renewables, they get used because they are the cheapest way to generate electricity. πŸ§ͺπŸ’‘πŸ”Œβ˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ’§πŸ”‹

Vielleicht ist es an der Zeit, ihre Strategie fΓΌr EAutos zu ΓΌberdenken.β€œ
renewables are just obviously the best form of power generation in every way that matters. even greed and stupidity are no match for the economic case in favor of wind and solar. nothing else comes close

A Lithium-Air battery with 12,000 Wh/kg would have 2x to 3x the effective energy density of Jet-A. πŸ§ͺπŸ”ŒπŸ’‘β˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ’§πŸ”‹

Research grade Lithium-Air batteries already have energy density of 1,200 Wh/kg, which is 3x-4x greater than commercial grade battery storage. To match the effective or final stage energy density of Jet-A batteries need to get to ~6,000 Wh/kg. πŸ§ͺπŸ”ŒπŸ’‘β˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ’§πŸ”‹ www.energy.gov/science/bes/...

It's the sum that matters. And using the same data from EMBER-ENERGY, the seasonal maximum for monthly low carbon power generation in the US (wind, water, solar, geothermal and nuclear) has now reached the seasonal minimum for high carbon generation sources (fossil fuels + bioenergy). πŸ§ͺπŸ’‘πŸ”Œβ˜€οΈπŸ’¨πŸ’§πŸ”‹

While batteries have changed everything and are rapidly replacing fossil fuels in power generation and transportation we are still in the early stages of the tech. It wasn't long ago we were talking about range anxiety for cars and saying batteries didn't work for heavy trucks.
