Comment on Japan automakers play catch-up in EV race
Hypx@kbin.social 1 year agoNow 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?

E-fuels or hydrogen made from green energy. With the latter you won't even give up on the future being EVs. They are the actually sustainable forms of transportation that everyone can accept.
