I would advocate nuclear power plants to help with meeting the energy needs that all these EVs would need.
= = =
Bingo. Nuke. Thorium.
Put a small Thorium power plant in your car.
And have no doubt, they will be able to disable your electric with the touch of a button if your social credit score is displeasing to them.
***That’s what RINOs actually WANT. The guy you responded to is a newbie calling himself ‘house RINO’.
You have not had and formal scientific or engineering education. I have. Your opinion is bogus speculation.
I recently bought a Rav4 hybrid and a friend with a Tesla.
***That’s an expensive friend. Most friends can be bought with a 6 pack and a pizza.
From those unicorn farts they’re so convinced will save the day. Duhh.
I think he is just a [house RINO] troll.
That’s easy. You won’t be able to put gas in the car, the 10 years will be up and the car will have only 8,000 miles on it. Out of warranty.
Or:
Gas stations will simply load up with hot swappable recharged batteries that take a minute to replace. You subscribe to the service like AAA. A lot simpler.
only to have to constantly swap the single most expensive part for one of unknown quality and condition?
***That’s where AAA or Consumer Reports or whomever comes in and certifies the quality & condition.
You keep 75% of the battery for the car in your own possession, in your own car. You swap out the top 25% with the local gas station which is monitored for quality by someone like AAA. Why is that so difficult to track as an implementable program?
Swampland in Florida is actually quite valuable right now. You might consider changing your analogy to “ocean front property in Nebraska”. Or, there’s always the Brooklyn Bridge.
The US doesn’t dictate global auto markets anymore.
***The most pervasive selling car in the world by far is the tuk tuk. If this technology can get down to hybridizing tuk tuks or replacing them with batteries, then it will spell the end of the ICE for those hundreds of millions of cars on the road.
Coming soon to a car near you.
LOL! Tesla floated that idea once upon a time. Guess they forgot that, along with their claim that all Superchargers were to be powered by renewable energy by the end of 2021. To be fair, they still have a few days to make that happen.
Well, NASA calls it Lattice Confined Fusion.

EVs solve that chimera problem of “global warming”... supposedly. But I sure as hell am not supposing any such thing.
Libtards love to conflate pollution with global warming.
Anyone who wants the engine to do the work rather than pedalling those hundred miles by themselves.
Those are invalid analogies.
With electronic info gadgets, you’re pushing electrons. If you were to blow up an electron to the size of the earth it would weigh less than a feather. It’s easy to see that there will be plenty of ‘bandwidth’ and capability for years to come if we could build our cars out of such a material as steel that weighed as much as a short string and was 10X stronger than Titanium.
Spot on!
***Naturally, the house RINO gloms onto the bullshiite arguments of the day.
A few years ago EVs had 0% market share.
***Golf carts. Scooters. They had their niche, which means it wasn’t 0% but RINOs like you enjoy exaggerating the figures so that they can try to make the case for global warming and all kinds of other bullshiite.
Now it’s climbing extremely fast.
***It’s climbing. In some ways fast, in other ways slow, like how solar panels couldn’t compete until there were subsidies — Elon Musk is the subsidy king of EVs. I would not characterize the climb as “extremely fast” but then again, I aint a house RINO.
You can’t stop revolutionary tech changes.
***You sure as hell can. Look at LENR as the example for that.
The cell phone comparison is very good.
***The cellphone comparison SUCKS. You’re pushing ELECTRONS, which if you increased their size to the whole earth they’d still weigh less than a feather. Golly-gee-gosh, ya think if we could build ICEs and cars with a metal that weighed as much as an inch of string but had 10X the strength of steel, we could see a vast room for improvement on the horizon? SURE! But we don’t have that luxury, because your analogy is complete bullshiite.
What is the energy source for electricity that will replace oil based energy? Pick one:
Nuke
Coal / Natural Gas
Oil
Wind
Solar
***NUKE. In particular, Low ENERGY Nukes.

Cellphones allowed people to talk from anywhere and not just from their landlines at home or public payphones.
What do EVs allow us to do that we can’t do already?
