There's no future for the combustible engine. Words from volvo. -
You're better off looking at what commercial ships do to see which system works best and diesel is still king. It has more energy density, is safer to handle, etc all qualities that are needed for extended ranges while crossing the open ocean. -
lithium and copper are expensive, and the amount of lithium and copper and aluminum required simply don’t exist at any price, and the infrastructure to plug in and recharge is imaginary, doesn’t exist and won’t exist for decades .
and Volvo nor anyone else will ever be able to build a battery that holds the same energy as 200 gallons of diesel.
most currently available electric cars like the Tesla hold the equalavant of about five gallons of gasoline .
They can’t even make an electric vehicle that holds the equivalent of 20 gallons of gasoline.
They sure as hell won’t ever be able to make a golf cart that holds the equivalent of 200 gallons of diesel. And won’t ever be able to make one that recharges in 15 or 20 minutes.
And even if they could make one that didn’t cost a million dollars , is every truck stop going to install recharge stations?
How much will that cost ?
Who will pay for it ?
Oh and does the local electrical utility provider have all that extra capacity?
do they have coal or natural gas power plants just sitting around waiting to be fired up and provide the juice ?
No?
Maybe they have wind turbines and solar panels with all that juice just waiting to be used ?
And giant power lines and substations built right next to all the truck stops ?
but neither did cell towers in the 70s
And neither did gas stations and oil refineries and pipelines in 1915Last edited: May 8, 2021
