Actually.. so do EVs...

2019-07-15 15:51:42 UTC  

No

2019-07-15 15:51:42 UTC  

they are far more tempermental

2019-07-15 15:51:43 UTC  

yeah

2019-07-15 15:51:49 UTC  

not as much tho

2019-07-15 15:51:51 UTC  

what's so fancy? there's a ton of batteries, an eletric motor

2019-07-15 15:51:52 UTC  

the end

2019-07-15 15:52:02 UTC  

and the ICE vechiles don't need everything to work right for the engine to run

2019-07-15 15:52:03 UTC  

Battery tech hasn't progressed much in the past two decades

2019-07-15 15:52:06 UTC  

come on, an ICE engine is FAR more complex than an EV drivetrain

2019-07-15 15:52:07 UTC  

especially diesels

2019-07-15 15:52:09 UTC  

but EVs have had an R&D push from battery tech for 300 years

2019-07-15 15:52:18 UTC  

battery tech isnt new

2019-07-15 15:52:23 UTC  

but Electric cars are all or nothing

2019-07-15 15:52:24 UTC  

dates back to Volta

2019-07-15 15:52:27 UTC  

And electronics are *automatically* more complex than mechanical.

2019-07-15 15:52:39 UTC  

EVs haven't directly had much R&D at all, it's just been a waiting game until battery technology was good enough

2019-07-15 15:52:40 UTC  

Battery tech is in need of a lot of innovation

2019-07-15 15:52:40 UTC  

batteries are one thing

2019-07-15 15:52:48 UTC  

yeah digital displays go to shit much quicker than analog ones

2019-07-15 15:52:49 UTC  

@Krisemann it's new compared to other stuff :3

2019-07-15 15:52:52 UTC  

electronics are another animal

2019-07-15 15:52:59 UTC  

especially power electronics

@Jack of Trades lithium ion has been around since the 90s

2019-07-15 15:53:04 UTC  

Just because you cannot see the complexity with your naked eye does not mean it's less complicated.

2019-07-15 15:53:13 UTC  

which you need for electric motor control

2019-07-15 15:53:18 UTC  

yeah I mean it's complex the way your computer power supply is complex

2019-07-15 15:53:25 UTC  

both ICE and EV today uses advanced computers

2019-07-15 15:53:28 UTC  

@Laucivol it has far fewer points of failure, for certain

2019-07-15 15:53:29 UTC  

which is to say, very

2019-07-15 15:53:40 UTC  

but ICE engines have had hundreds of billions of R&D

2019-07-15 15:53:50 UTC  

Uhh

2019-07-15 15:53:53 UTC  

a modern ICE engine is insanely more advanced than even 10-20-30 years ago

2019-07-15 15:53:54 UTC  

A bit more complex

2019-07-15 15:53:58 UTC  

as an electrcical engineer that worked with power electronicsd for over a decade, trust me that shit fails far more often

2019-07-15 15:54:00 UTC  

Than ur PCs PSU

2019-07-15 15:54:01 UTC  

yeah

2019-07-15 15:54:06 UTC

2019-07-15 15:54:12 UTC  

but ICE cars fail too remember

2019-07-15 15:54:27 UTC  

nah, LOT more complicated than a regulated DC supply in your PC
