But batteries do own the golf cart market!
In San Antonio’s Riverwalk circular river, the tour boats are battery powered. I had an operator show me the batteries — six car batteries per boat. Run all day.
In this application battery power is very nice because they’re quiet as they move among the downtown buildings.
They have also made a lot of improvements on ICE vehicles too
over the last several decades. The cars are quiet, and they
seem to produce very little smog.
In pick-up line at a fast food place, you can see the exhaust

People have said that the planet couldn’t take any more

be if the human race were cratering, and if we did a
better job, world hunger would cease to exist at all

Battery vehicles have their place too. We all need to
accept other people’s choices and move on.
I firmly believe big government is handling the transition
