  1. Electrical battery is indeed still a transitional technology that is not suitable for transportation application. It's driven not by being a better technology than gasoline engine but by the fraud of it being non polluting (which is a lie). Battery chemical process is still largely poorly understood and not a technology suitable for long term. A gas engine lasts 10 years at least but an EV only 3-4 years.

  2.  @vittalshenoy  I am an engineer i don't learn i design. I know where you were brainwashed by the ignorant media and marketing politics.

  3.  @vittalshenoy  I have 30 years of experience as an electronics engineer. I do not design ICE cars but i know enough about the current limited understanding of battery chemical processes to say it is far from being harnessed and still a transitional technology that should never have found its way to transportation except from false perception related to politics and deceptive marketing practices. ICE cars are greener than EV when the whole picture is taken into account from the mining of rare earth materials for magnets, to the fossil fuel burning power plants that have to produce the electricity needed to recharge EVs, to the short lifespan of an EV compared to an ICE vehicle, to the lies about the small carbon footprint of recycling used batteries. The whole thing is a sham supported by officials corruption and bribes. Now the problem with ICE vehicle is seen in those countries like usa where individuals are allowed to drive massive trucks or caravans for no other reason than arrogance and ego and thus moving 3 tons of steel to carry their 0.1 ton body weight. This is a 3.3% efficient mode of transportation by useful moved weight. Vehicles should be massively taxed by weight and short lifespan EVs should be additional taxed for high waste.

  4.  @vittalshenoy  There is denial, deception and dishonesty in the EV camp, if not corruption when officials are involved. It only takes common sense to understand that the overwhelmingly vast majority of electricity needed to recharge EV batteries comes from fossil fuel burning power plants. Charging a battery by burning fossil fuel in a power plant is always less efficient than directly burning gasoline in an ICE. Solar cells is not a viable solution. The Tobbaco industry in the 1960's produced tons of fraudulent papers to deny the health toxicity of tobbaco and these papers were written by true but bribed specialists. The same is going with Pesticides and the EV corporate lobby are doing just the same. Endless corruption. Your EV warranty only covers normal usage (not fun sport driving) and ends at 8-10 years, with mileage limits. That is bad. At ten years, when the EV battery needs replacement, likely the vehicle will be junked, no matter its condition. At the age at which the battery starts to fail, the car is considered totalled and that will be 8-10 years just after the warranty expires. An ICE vehicle is always repairable at a fraction of the cost of a new EV battery (but they won't still produce your battery in 8 years since batteries self discharge and cannot be stored long as new old stock :p ) We don’t hear the environmentalists talking about this. Do you know that 11.5% of 2017 EV batteries were officially recalled that is huge and proves it is a transitional technology. The Tesla mode S driving range drops by 25% before reaching 80,000 miles. There is no residual value in an EV vehicle near its warranty expiration while an ICE vehicle does not depreciate as horribly. Currently the world production of rare earth is done in China at a huge environment pollution cost with highly hazardous heavy metals spillage and chemicals and this pollutes the drinking waters bassins and streams. EV buyers should be forced to drink that water. If rare earth mining was done safely outside China its price would triple. The short lifespan of an EV is part of the pollution waste it produces. No matter on what angle you look we should pull the plug on EVs. ICE vehicles are cleaner when you include the whole balance sheet beyond driving the car itself.

  5. Same with Tesla. EV are a fraud. Wrong technology for the application.

  6.  @tonyalbertsson919  Right and it's funny how the media hides those responsible 20 years ago to move all manufacturing in China against the will of employees and often against the will of the executive directors of US companies but pressured by the board of director and big institutional shareholders mainly dominated by sionists (not the right word but the other one flags the algo). It's those wall street sionists that are responsible for made in China. Now we have to reverse that and they never get accused in hindsight because they control the media.
