Ok so Germany, France and China have all announced the end of the internal combustion engine. Needless to say that the American twitter's sphere has been agoog about that change, once again missing the point:
What are you going to do with an electric car in Florida?-- the answer is the same as a gasoline one -- not be able to use it when it runs out of juice... The usual issues, there are not enough charging station, or that the electricity comes from coal/nuclear etc etc. Again missing the point!
Because the same people who are against the introduction of electric cars would have (did) voice the same issue with the internal combustion engine...look how wrong they were.
Part of the problem is that people's view of the world is static, they cannot conceive that the wold will change, and now they don't remember not having a computer in their shirt pocket...
The Europeans know that the electric grid is at an inflection point as is battery technology, and factor of massive investments and a need to look at a real problem. Imagine what the average American will say to self driving electric cars...its a plot by the devil himself!
It is amazing to think that China cancelled the construction of over 130 coal fired power station, not because they don't have coal, just that solar and wind power are now more efficient and more reliable and generate far less pollution (even though its not zero).
Imagine when the average American figures out that a standard electric car is good for 1,000,000 miles (several have reached the 300,000 miles milestone with little battery deterioration). That instead of owning a car, you own a "time share" fleet of cars...
Communism I tell you its communism.
Ok end of rant
