Honestly Tesla has made the future of EVs look very promising to me. And one of the reasons I say EVs are the future, is because of what I've said a couple of times in the past on here. The ICE may become a thing of the past after petrol runs dry and no replacement is available.
You must be a fan of Elon Musk. There's gonna be a Electrogate, I swear. Also, what's gonna replace EVs once we start losing amounts of electricity? Solar energy?
I think Musk is a very interesting businessman considering he works with both an electric car manufacturer and a space program. I'm thinking what I like most is the vehicles Tesla produces, especially the Model S. I'm going to take it that you don't. How could there be an Electrogate? It's been confirmed that we will run out of oil and gas, which I know the oil companies must hate to hear. And isn't solar energy converted into electricity? I've always thought that's what solar panels and windmills do.
Do you like Honda because you are a fan of Soichiro Honda? (Actually, scrap that, you actually might. But I don't think Henry Leland and the Dodge Brothers made me like Cadillac, Lincoln and Dodge) How would it work? I'll be frank, this is one of the dumbest comments I've heard. --- Post updated --- Blame the fact that he made a product people feel is worth investing in.
Let's see, sudden realization that the grid is not currently set up to handle mass EV adoption and upgrading it will be expensive, sudden realization that wind and solar power are unreliable, expensive, and generally complete garbage, what else...
I started liking Hondas and Acuras thanks to my dad, not the founder. He's starting to remind me of Henrik Fisker, who founded Fisker. That sounds like a good sign, until you realize why Fisker went bankrupt. The vehicles look very tacky to me (especially with the fact that Fisker Automotive (there's another Fisker company now) tried to do electric vehicles, but started to go into a downfall thanks to it's batteries). Wind energy.
The grid has been ever-expanding, with Americans getting new electrical goods over time. It survived refridgerators, electric cookers, TVs... Doesn't mean we have to invest in them. Also, with the technology developing, it's now shifting towards practicality. I wonder if you're one of these folks who think that power plants pumping water back up are a waste of energy, while not even stopping to think about momentum. That's an issue of economics and business, not motoring. What's the link?
Reasoning? If biogas was so good, why hasn't it been used instead of complicated EV research? And EVs are barely born, yet quickly getting up. --- Post updated --- When you're dead, you don't buy shit.
I was sure electric was the future until I learned that the Japanese government is investing heavily in hydrogen power. I think electric still has the upper hand in North America and Europe but, considering the number of cars Japan sells worldwide, I'm less certain what the future will look like. We could potentially see a VCR/Betamax situation where one comes out on top, or possibly even a petrol/diesel one where both electric and hydrogen vehicles are common. Either way, there is no long-term future for ICE. Sorry, but that's just where the world is going and you'll have to live with it.
