........2050 EV success will depend on continuing research in battery technology and clean energy development. Federal Government-sponsored research will be important - our world could be one of all science deniers by then .....sadly.
.........Electric motors have several advantages over IC engines because they are more efficient, reliable, quiet, and have fewer parts. Electric motors basically spin in a circle with equal power supplied to all 360 degree rotation. Internal combustion engines have to convert jarring linear piston motion into rotary motion - with jarring explosions at only one cycle of its 4 cycle operation.
.........Not ALL countries produce oil and that fact seems to have contributed to wars. All countries have some form of renewable energy, so IF (?) technology like solar panels and storage batteries could be improved maybe (?) there would be less need for wars?
I can see why yoy confusion or lack of comprehension.


Thank you 3rd grade substitute teacher. But, after you rant I see you never commended on the video which this is about. You would think being full electric vehicles would be cheaper than the dreaded combustion engine and transmissions being the have less parts? O I see the cost of batteries (or what they charge) far exceeds the cost of all that manufacturing combustion engines and transmissions. Hence the reality, the cost of fully electric has to come way down before they will be the majority. I willing to bet there Hugh profit margin on EV due (see mommy) to limited numbers being sold.
