I like the concept of electric cars. More or less silent, fast, stinking exhaust limited to the power stations, etc. But weight, power storage capacity and range, recharge times, battery fatigue and cost of replacement, genuinely nasty pollution from production and disposal of the batteries, and the fire hazard of the same all add up to a "Hmmmm, I'll wait. Fill 'er up, Jackson."
“nd the fire hazard”
Less than ICE car.
Lithium battery development is proceeding in about a dozen different directions; cathodes, anodes, electrolytes, etc. While some of the developments are very promising and innovative, the main stumbling block seems to be the ability to make these advances become commercially viable. The advances aren’t any good if you can only produce them in a lab.
Having to recharge it every day, because it’s winter, makes them unusable.
