I Love The Idea Of Electric Cars

The Physics is against you:

1. Batteries are not energy dense. They don't hold much energy given their weight.
2. Batteries immediately begin to discharge after charging. So they don't hold their charge well.
3. Batteries are environmentally damaging to make. Very damaging to make which is why their metals are only mined in a few places.
4. Batteries require expensive rare earth metals to make. They are only going to get more expensive with increased demand.
5. Batteries are difficult and environmentally damaging to dispose.

Hydrogen is a far better alternative. Burning Hydrogen, i.e., good old fashioned combustion, produces only water vapor as a byproduct.

Electric cars are a temporary measure until we switch to a hydrogen based economy. I'd say by mid-century.

What about the factories where electric cars are built?

Hover boards FYI 😊
