Am I starting to get through?
Will we be better off when 20%, 50% or 80% of the world's car fleet will consist in vehicles carrying batteries? Better than we are now?
I keep thinking about what my mother has always told me: “Everything in moderation”. There are clearly way too many cars on this planet. Do we stop producing them? Not going to happen. Then, and as an offset measure, we slowly switch over a portion of the fleet to batteries. Perhaps we introduce legislature that states that a household looking for a second car must purchase a hybrid or an EV. In this situation, costs will lower as demand and volume will be artificially inflated, thus amortizing R&D money and all other related investments over many as opposed to few.
Is this the way to go? It sounds a little too communistic, but this may be the only way to maintain some form of balance. All ICE is no good, we know this. All EV, unless someone says otherwise and has evidence to support the opposite, is no good either.
