Researchers achieve EV battery breakthrough with silicon-based materials and gel electrolytes, moving closer to a 1,000-kilometer range on a single charge.
gasoline cars and motorcycles will be missed, like analog film cameras and quarter inch reel tape. people will imagine what it must have been like when cars were bad ass.
Lots of electric cars outrun their dinosaur juice powered counterparts, but do feel free to go off about how they don't go vroom so you can't be as obnoxious with them.
I don't think there's any need to be snide about this comment. A 2015 Honda Civic is objectively superior in almost every way to a 1967 Corvette, but the 'vette is inherently cooler in a way that the Civic will never be. It's just nostalgia for a bygone era, that's all.
If you have a passion for driving, and enjoy the ride feel off a 67 Corvette, as a pie chart, the 'vette is vastly superior because both cars are tools. The same tool can be used for different situations but its the situation that defines what is superior and what isnt.
Its just a matter of perspective.
I say this as someone who prefers driving a stick shift. Ive probably driven equal kilometers on automatic vs stick.
While i very much would like one, EVs are probably just as distinct in their own way.
I would place a very large bet that some people feel the same way i do about standard transmissions as they do about EVs. And there have already been articles about there being a learning curve when switching to an EV
