Looks a bit "Rube Goldberg-ish" to me, but creative for sure.
starting at 4:07 on the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY2RPSUyIrc The guy on the EV skateboard is nuts! |

I read that Porsche has developed an 80% charge in 10 minutes. Coming very soon. The average daily mileage for most people is low enough that an every night charge isn't crucial. I also read that China has a solar highway that will charge your car while you drive. There's your range extender. I think the future will move to autonomous vehicle ride sharing. We just order up a ride like Uber and a driverless vehicle will show up when we need it. We won't own it, maintain it, have to finance it or provide space for it. We order up the size car we need for that particular trip. It will take your 10 year old to soccer practice without a parent driving. Take my college kid back to school by driving through the night while she sleeps. Commercial trucks will be there even sooner than cars.

All are interesting concepts and there is truth in there as well. However, I challenge everyone to go dig deeper. We may live on Mars someday. I'm not opposed to that or EV's. However, in the meantime what is pushed is the positive press and talking points without a critical analysis of cost, feasibility or timing. Dig into the time to bring these concepts to market and what the potential pit falls may be. If you happen to live in Thompson Falls, MT do you really think an autonomous vehicle will be there when your child is sick at 2:00 am and needs to go to the hospital? Is the answer simply don't live there? What are the consequences of pushing the majority of the population into overly dense urban cities? Not buying or selling, just saying that critical analysis is necessary and doesn't get much airplay. |
