That way they’ll be even more expensive and even less safe!
Genius!

They need to make electric cars out of titanium. Or better yet, unobtainium.

My father was an engineer at one of the big 3 American auto companies and he once told me, ‘sure, I can make you a car that gets 400mpg, but you wouldn’t want to be in it if you hit a wall at 20mph’...

They should make electric cars using lots of magnesium. It’s light weight.
To: Red Badger
It’s easy to make them lighter.
Just take out the batteries.

Lighter is better? I guess I’m all mixed up. I thought heavier was better, so I just finished putting a load of bricks in the trunk of my new Tesla.

Guess nobody up there in Ivory-Towerland ever heard of adhesive weight.

Hmmm...new paradigm...make batteries lighter....sounds like a good idea...feel sorry for all the early adopters who thought they are at the bleeding edge of technology and would stay there forever....

These idea and suggestion publications are the kind of thing real designers and engineers scoff at.
Really, lighter vehicles are better? Damn, I wish I’d thought of that!
Make lighter batteries for better more efficient electric cars? Brilliant!!!
Basically, these are all goals for every vehicle designer, whether gasoline, diesel or electric - they don’t need some idiot explaining to them basic design goals the industry has been emphasizing since 1950.
Why do you think cars are half plastic now? Weight!!! Your granddad’s Hudson or Packard was heavy and all steel/iron except for the bakelite radio and heater dials.

Longer range and lighter weight are definitely competing objectives in a battery-powered vehicle.

What a great idea, I’m amazed that the thousands of engineers and actual scientists involved in developing and building electric cars never thought of that!

The bigger obstacle is charge time. After driving a gasoline car for a few hours I can refuel it in five minutes. Make an electric car do that with no major impact on battery life and it will give gas cars a good run for the money. Otherwise they will remain in-town commuter cars with overnight charging.
