Idk if that is uplifting. With current electric cars good luck going far for holidays. Its basically taking mobility away. And recharging takes so long. Imagine if everyone has an electric car and tries to go on holidays.

They're doing it way too fast. Also they're still not addressing the lithium pollution problem. Moving around pollution is nice for big cities but in the end it will bit us back in the butt

There has been studies to compare the current electric and gaz cars. A few years ago it was 100 000 km to break even and then the gaz car is worse. Issue being, accidents and unsold cars make it not much better. At best its slightly better.

The main point of electric cars id just displacement of pollution. You fuck up the eco system too but not in populated cities so people dont care. Thats not a long term solution.

Was that the one published by the group funded by a shell company owned by the Aston Martin director’s wife? The real number is more like 30000 km, but it depends on the local grid. Some places are better, some are worse.
