And if we were stuck in a three hour traffic jam in the cold of a blizzard, the batteries would completely die.
Because electric cars basically don’t have heating.
And being stuck on the street all night, no battery, no heating, no wipers, no radio, no GPS, the battery is long dead.
You can try to call ambulance and protect women and children but they can’t come to help because all roads are closed and probably all police cars will be electric.
And when the roads are blocked by thousands of loaded cars, no one will be able to proceed. How to charge batteries on site?
The same problem during the summer vacation is the traffic jams for kilometers.
The possibility of turning on the air conditioning in an electric car would not be available only for a short period of time. Your batteries would die in an instant!
Of course, no politician or journalist talks about it, but this will happen.
The first point to be made here is that essentially none of this has any basis in fact, but that’s not what makes this worthy of a blog post.
What’s far more disturbing is that this came from someone with no training in anything even closely related to the subject matter who thought that, he, magically, or maybe due to his own brilliance, had discovered something that the world of business and science had somehow overlooked. Who else would have had the nerve to ask of an industry that’s transforming our world, “Has anyone ever thought of this?”
It’s possible that our civilization is about to go down in flames. But it won’t be because some fool just thought of something that the best scientific minds have somehow overlooked.
