That’s it. All my life, “smart” people would tell me that’s Solar power isn’t economically feasible, so we shouldn’t waste time on it, and I’d say it would become economically feasible if we spent real time on it.
Eventually, over all those years we’ve gotten to the point where it is literally the better choice in many ways, but we could have gotten there many years ago.
The motors were fine. It was advances in battery tech that made pure EVs viable. Really, hybrids should have been a thing a lot earlier. Series Hybrid tech has been moving trains, ships and industrial equipment for decades before the Prius(Parallel Hybrid) hit the market.
Honesty it seems like a decent car
I’m honesty surprised they managed to get 80 miles of range. That’s pretty much what you get with a older Nissan leaf
Yea it was an actually decent car. We went the easy route and fucked up the planet by choosing the internal combustion engine.
Combustion engines are way better
Only now are we even seeing electric cars that can complete.
If we spent 100+ years focused on electric it would be better.

A lot of the tech powering electric cars was only invented recently
I don’t think so
Try going on a long distance trip somewhere and then get back to me.
These days it is a little more doable. However, you still have to wait for your car to charge.
And that’s ignoring the wear on the battery from fast charging
