[Germany is on the brink of a recession. The Germans over the past 100 years have made monumental strategic blunders. They never seem to learn.]
Well, it’s not like they’re associate with any World Wa....
(yes, some of my ancestors are German, too)
associated - oops

Thank you God.
Now the cost of electricity to consumers exceeds 30 cents per kilowatt hour. The cost is actually higher since taxes are being used to subsidize the power companies. Squandered capital cannot be recovered.
And it gets worse!
They are shutting all the nukes that provide steady power for industry, replaced with windmills.
The problem, the wind is at the North Sea, the industry is mostly in the south.
NO ONE wants the new power lines in their backyard or chopping the beautiful German forests.
Hitler built the roads, Ferdinand Porsche built the VW.
and massive refunds to get a core of buyers, I will be more impressed.
Prepare to be impressed!
The rebates for Tesla run out at the end of this year.
Germany will soon have the technological prowess of palestine or congo
“To make electric cars viable requires infrastructure, decreased charging time and long battery life.”
I commute 17 miles each way to/from work. Assuming a diversion for groceries or beer I MIGHT use it 50 miles between charges.
And I can set a timer to charge after midnight and enjoy $0.09 per KWH for power, making the cost per mile extraordinarily cheap.
But I would need a second vehicle. No doubt. And I wouldn’t even be able to park the second in my garage where the electric was charging overnight.
So, no.
A better investment is to buy a new Honda Civic for $19k. It gets 40MPG and lasts at least 200k miles...trouble free. Or Ford Focus or similar.
A nice adjunct for the fancy truck with all the voodoo.
“In order to make electric cars viable you have to maintain the fiction that if we don’t convert then the entire would will be destroyed. Ridiculous.”
You are forgetting the value of virtue signalling.
If Volkswagen is so conscientious, why did they cheat on the diesels?
The people had to buy never got one but Hitler got to keep all the money
Is it true that battery energy density improves 5-8% per year? Does this represent an average or is it a consistent trend each year?

As we all know, 5-8% growth is exponential growth. While this is much “slower” than Moores law, it’s still the kind of growth that predicts fantastic things for our future given enough time. For example, if we wait 48 years, 8% compounded annually would give a battery that has a gravimetric energy density that exceeds that of gasoline!
But when we actually look at the curves for battery chemistries they are almost always linear. So why, then, do they say that “battery energy densities improve at 8% per year”? The answer lies in this graph:
Amazing to think that Hitler’s VW now owns:
Bugatti
Lamborghini
Bentley
Porsche
Audi
They should call it a Voltswagen.
I like EVs but...
ATTENTION ALL PASSENGERS!!!
Due to unforeseen headwinds, we want everyone to connect their laptops/phones to the charging port.
WE DO NOT WANT TO RUN SHORT!
You will be awarded extra miles for use on future flights, if any.
Thank you.
