hence all the companies cheating them
They will eventually either back off or strangle their industries
no it's worse
The US already had that dilemma
what's happening is
they're forcing substandard products onto consumers which are overpriced
subsidizing it with tax
and selling it saying "you're helping the world and stopping people dying"
No amount of laws will make electrics popular or profitable
the whole EV and hybrid industry is an affront to capitalism, it's disgusting
It is
Which is why it will crash and probably take whole economies with it. Economics always wins, and it is a sore loser
Winner
Sore winner
Fuck
The supercar manufacturers are using hybrid tech pretty well
well, depends which one
the P1 was hysterical
they basically said it was a "hybrid" when really it was an electric motor to compensate for huge turbo lag
that is the best thing ever
Like i said, hybrids = the future
I don't think hybrids are the future
The economy thus far disagrees
assuming batteries can hold enough, ICE has no advantages
Why not? You know how peak efficiency in ICEs works?
Literally the most efficient systems we have are hybrids
Or rather diesel electric
Trains are hybrids
Why do you think all heavy duty equipment is hybrid?
Giant mining trucks are hybrids
It is the most efficient and long lived system
the limiting factors for EVs is literally batteries, that's all, electric motors are cheap and efficient, the problem is batteries are dirty and recharging is slow, plus capacity isn't there yet
the only reason hybrids exist is to compensate for failure in electricity delivery
So you have a small battery and use the engine as a generator
if you have perfect electricity delivery, you do not need ICE
ever
That's.... not true
Always operating at peak efficiency
Like, man, i dunno where you are even getting this
