Ah, yep, didn’t realize the new tech needs no “fueling” of any kind- I didn’t read carefully enough.
This is “almost perpetual motion” territory it seems- (course the motion would break down eventually as the 1/2 life kicks in, so not true perpetual motion). Pretty exciting stuff if they can get it to work. I’d maybe go for that IF repairs and replacement parts are reasonable.
With evs now, apparently you can’t run air conditioner or heat without suffering a massive extra drain on the batteries and reduced milage per charge- this is a deal killer for most, especially those in really frigid or hot climates. With that new tech you linked, those problems will be a thing of the past depending i guess on how long one has to idle? (Like truckers who idle their trucks all night while catching zzz’s? I winder if the new tech might get too low on a charge at any pojnt under certain scenarios?
The upshot for me is I don’t want an electric vehicle at this time. While ICE powered vehicles would still have value because the infrastructure is already there for them, current electric vehicles types would be worthless.
Air conditioning is pretty standard these days.
Mine does not have it, but it is really basic (doesn’t even have doors, though it has a roof)
I will get A/C when I upgrade next.
