Applying “the lowest common denominator” to this subject yields three inescapable facts and they are:

1. Current EV/lithium batteries are too heavy.
2. Current EV/lithium batteries are explosive.
3. Current EV/lithium batteries are too expensive.

Given the foregoing 3 facts, Ford and GM should forget, for now, manufacturing even 1 more Tesla type EV. My daughter and her husband have one and realize they can’t give it away.
