“Russian Oil Chief
Says Tesla, Electric Cars Are Overrated”
He's right.
We've had electric cars since the very early 1900s, and they
never took hold except for some very special purposes.
The key problem is this: even today, there are no good
batteries.
Not only is the huge battery for one of these cars very
heavy - draining its capacity to perform and also wearing out tires and road
surfaces faster (not exactly green, by the way) - but the charge held cannot in
any way compare to the energy in a tank of gasoline or even diesel.
We just are not there technologically yet.
