just a box on 4 wheels

2019-07-15 15:50:18 UTC  

Electric roadways is a ridiculous idea on so many levels

2019-07-15 15:50:28 UTC  

just take the train nigger

2019-07-15 15:50:28 UTC  

but having the car charge while parked at the mall via the inductinve charger under the parking spot?

2019-07-15 15:50:30 UTC  

no EVs catch on fire less as a percentage of the cars. as in they are less likely than ICE cars to do it by like 10 times

2019-07-15 15:50:35 UTC  

Why

2019-07-15 15:50:36 UTC  

that would be different

2019-07-15 15:50:47 UTC  

You're suffering much more inefficiency

2019-07-15 15:50:53 UTC  

as if you need to charge at the mall, unless you're going 200 miles to shop

2019-07-15 15:50:55 UTC  

teleporter from the fly when?

2019-07-15 15:50:56 UTC  

Just because you dont want to plug it in?

2019-07-15 15:50:57 UTC  

@Vindi new ICE cars or in general

2019-07-15 15:51:04 UTC  

all

2019-07-15 15:51:06 UTC  

also EVs violate the KISS principle

2019-07-15 15:51:07 UTC  

exactly

2019-07-15 15:51:09 UTC  

And thus wasting *far* more time overall?

2019-07-15 15:51:15 UTC  

EVs are FAR simpler than ICE cars

2019-07-15 15:51:19 UTC  

wait till EVs get 20-30 years old

2019-07-15 15:51:24 UTC  

ICE cars have had literally a century of R&D

2019-07-15 15:51:32 UTC  

not really. the power electronics aren't

2019-07-15 15:51:39 UTC  

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
