Excellent news for the greenies! Just don’t show them a picture of a nickel mine.
It would ruin the moment.
P.S. Those earth movers sure aren’t EVs.

How much will the batteries cost, and, how often will they catch fire or blow up?

Where’s the electricity going to come from?

It won't matter. EV's will be just like ICE cars: we could make them and fuel/power them domestically but the Dims want us to be dependent on other countries. Just like they don't let us drill and refine enough of our own oil for ICE cars, they'll make it so that the nickel mine in Michigan will be the only nickel mine in operation in the U.S.
We should drill baby drill and mine baby mine.

If only these researchers had $750 billion per year from the government, all energy problems would be solved!

Where do you plug them in ? All those gas stations that have top be replaced by overnight charging stations, will you have to rent a bed ? ,LOL

Even if you could DOUBLE the performance of batteries (which is highly unlikely), they are still a loser compared to hydrocarbon fuels. This chart compares the volumetric efficiency (y axis) to mass efficiency (x axis).
