And who knows if battery power is going to be the tech that is used in 10 years. As antiquated as internal combustion engines are so is battery power. Diesel electric like trains ?

Cobalt replaced with a molybdenum lattice structure. Two to three time more energy dense. Lithium ion will be history in <4-5 years. Cars will see 500-750 miles between charges. Clean. No oil or gas. No filters. Fuck gas. All the car makers see the future. This wins the: Best in topic post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love to have a model S. Seems to be getting warmer. Our planet was also warm in the past. Not sold on the man made part. I think some are stretching the truth to get the results they want, and coming up with wild projections that aren’t based in reality. And that is hurting what credibility they might have had. Are you going to answer my question? What are you compensating for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 12, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 Define vehicles? As of right now there really hasn't been significant acceleration of EV's gaining market share. I think its some time off before they are greater than 50% of the market.

They should have done that first. Who cares if your truck sucks gas when it’s loaded or towing.

All the car makers see the future. A couple of guys working at MIT have the best plan I have seen yet for future battery tech.....slow discharge capacitors. Unlike batteries they are made mostly of aluminum, carbon and non heavy metals. Plus because they store energy in a different way they can be charged much much faster than a battery.

XCR1250 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 The extra yearly tax/fees the government will need to charge to replace the state and federal gas taxes for road construction/repairs will be extremely high as it is now the roads are paid for by gasoline taxes which if cars/trucks were electric they wouldn't collect the monies needed.

Doorider Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 In my area, I can't drive anywhere without passing multiple Teslas. I'm contemplating shopping for a used 75D here soon. Wife and I put about 400 miles a week on my BMW, but never drive it on road trips. A car I can plug in at night and be fast as shit would be great.
