Even though Tesla has exhibited supremacy in electric vehicle development, the EV revolution got off to a bad start due to a few isolated, but well publicized, reports of car and cell phone battery fires. Hurting worse was the lack of conformity for charging stations/plugs. China and European car makers are expanding their increasingly better EV models while Ford, GM and Honda, being unable to catch-up with the technology, scaled back their battery-tech programs after Trump relaxed federal mandates.
Recently, I took advantage of the free state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery offer by purchasing a new Stihl chainsaw (these batteries cost almost as much as the chainsaw). I understand deals and discounts to increase sales…but why would they giveaway inventory? The reason might be newer technology is coming – solid-state battery. SSBs not only increase range and decrease charge time for motor vehicles but are void of rare earth/precious metals and flammable liquids.
Questions remain concerning grid capacity that is diminished by demand of the increasing number of everything going electric from lawnmowers to toothbrushes … and the mega-consuming datacenters currently under construction. Of course, no problem even if you live in Sun-Don’t-Shine, East Overshoe Nowhere – home solar panels might suffice.
