We aren’t consuming batteries anywhere near the rate we consume oil and coal. Hydrogen even less than batteries.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 month ago:
During the pandemic they had to choose between go remote or close up shop. They didn’t have much choice.
Seems that once Covid stabilized they’ve been trying to force everyone back.

That’s nice but it doesn’t change the facts:
The software that you are stating “gets bloated” is in all vehicles, not just EVs.
Combistion vehicles have more inputs and outputs to incorporate in the bloated software than EVs.
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 months ago:
Right, the centralized control systems that get bloated with software are not unique to EVs. Like I said. And those centralized control systems have more inputs and outputs to interact with on an ICE than on an EV because an ICE has more components.
I’m not a hobbyist. I was a master automotive mechanic for over 20 years and I am now a software developer. I feel the need to say this because you are restating the same points I already address in a more verbose way as if you are hoping to make it sound too complicated for the average person to refute.
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 months ago:
Right but both EVs and ICE vehicles have infotainment systems. ICE vehicles have more components that require software in addition to that.
- Comment on When EV startups shut down, will their cars still work? 2 months ago:
ICE vehicles have more software because they have more components. They have a transmission control module and an engine control module both of which have a lot of sensors to read and outputs to control. Much more than a simple EV would have.
