  • I worked at a major battery company for 11 years. You’re wrong. If you produce them in enough volume they’re practically free. Less than the cost of an internal combustion engine. I’m not a Tesla fan, but their entire cost model is built on mass producing 18650 batteries.

    Transporting refined fossil fuels from countries half way around the world is way less efficient and costly. Electric vehicles aren’t going to defeat climate change, but I’m so sick of hearing pushback against them. They’re at least better than ICE vehicles because batteries are 100% recyclable, and the electricity used to charge them can come from renewable sources.

    Roll coal in your illegally modified truck all you want, but this is the future.
