And where does the electricity for those electric cars come from?

@Arrows you do realize that nuclear fission can't power cars right

also you know that electric cars get their electricity from somewhere right?
That's almost always a fossil fuel plant.

And nuclear power plants all use diesel generatora

also the batteries and electric cars are incredibly expensive and resource intensive to produce.

Ssb tech will get them to charge faster, hold a charge longer and cars can potentially have a range of over 1,000 miles

What happens to them when they're no longer usable?

They are completely different fields

Oil really isn't used for large scale power production

Beyond that electric vehicles do not have a future in cargo transportation, they just don't.

Galaxy brain over here arguing that the biggest market for fossil fuels is 'cars'.

They don't have the fuel density required.

Petroleum is used to make plastic

It is actually

Cars

Planes

Boats

That's oil mind

and many other things that don't involve cars

Coal power is mostly for electricity

But oil is mostly for transportation

Solid state batteries don't break down like lipo or alkaline. Because the electrolyte is stabilized in glass

Industry in America at least is a relatively minor part of oil

And oil is completely different from coal

Saying "the fossil fuel lobby" like it's some massive collective is silly

Even if we didn't use oil for cars or anything the industry would still exist and thrive

Also, the electrolyte is just sodium. So much easier to source

Because of how useful plastics are

@Chijohnaok plastic is a byproduct and not the main one

You don't refine oil looking for plastic or asphalt

Plastics can be made from any oil, it's just that petroleum is high yeild

You just produce them on the side and sell them

So what you're saying is oil is mostly a used in transportation like I said

xD

Also the EU has a lot less cars than the us anyway

48% is somewhat less than "mostly"

It is by far the largest slice of that pie

still not mostly

"Laregest", yes, "mostly", no

And it says road transport
