I see electric vehicles for people who take baths using a wet Q-tip thinking they are saving the planet from a lack of water.
I see my Tesla costing me 2 cents per mile which is equal to 56 cents per gallon gasoline at the 28 mpg the ICE luxury car that sits next to it gets in hwy use less in the city. But hey do you.
That Tesla is also less per month than the Volvo was need so from mile one the Tesla cost less in capital. Hey if people want to pay more that’s on them. I see this CATL as a double win it has nearly the range of a full EV so nearly every trip is ultra cheap electrons vs $3.28 per gallon fuel. Then for the long trips to say New Orleans it’s 5 or so gallons of fuel each way once the pack runs out vs 20 gallons each way in the Volvo. Again feel free to pay more out of ideology by all means.
