Oversized electric golf cart fanbois will not find this amusing.
EVs as they now exist are rich man toys. If only they could be built with an on-board electricity generating system, and did not have to rely on heavy, cumbersome and all too frequently, highly dangerous batteries to supply the electricity.
Diesel-electric locomotives have been in use for some eighty years, and the technology for using an internal-combustion engine as a power source for an on-board generator, and driving each wheel with a dedicated electric motor is well developed. It could be scaled down in size, first for heavy trucks, then even to compact automobiles.
“Carbon neutral” or “carbon free” is an impossible goal that can never be met, nor should we want to. There are plentiful hydrocarbon fuels available, and the design could operate with a high degree of feasibility and for a very competitive cost, as compared to vehicles with a more conventional drive line.
