Now we're in the "pro-BEV bullshit" zone. Batteries won't magically solve all transportation needs, nor solve the energy storage requirements of the grid. Alternatives still have to exist anyways, and the total lifecycle efficiency of BEVs isn't that special. In a lot of cases, avoiding excessive use of batteries will save you energy. So pursuing alternatives will not need radically more solar panels.

Where did I say batteries were perfect?

If you can admit that, you can admit there can be superior options to BEVs.

Admit what? That they aren’t perfect? Yeah sure, nothing is. But where is the better option?
