They need to solve four problems:
1. Quick Charge Time, 10 minutes max.
2. Range must be at least 400 miles per charge.
3. Batteries unsafe, spontaneously explode, burn down peoples homes.
4. Battery weight is too massive, wears tires and roads.
Number 3 would seem to be a fairly serious drawback.
I read an article about the Dodge Ramcharger... That sounded interesting.
Turbo V-6 ICE that hooks to a gen-set that not only powers the -e motors at the wheels, but also the short range battery pack.
Intriguing...
-e Caps (super capacitors) have some of the same issues that Lion batteries do... they some times explode.
All for an issue that isn’t an issue. The market place will handle this naturally as something ACTUALLY better than an ICE takes it’s place. Not something FORCED on us by government subsidies and unConstitutional regulations.
Battery weight...Number 4.
When an EV crashes into a gas-powered car, the people in the gas-powered car are more likely to be seriously injured or killed because of the higher weight of the EV.
5. Batteries degrade when fast charged and/or fully charged
6. Insufficient generation and distribution capacity (should be no. 1)
