And one more news on the topic:
The German company e-Revolt offers a service for converting gasoline and diesel cars into electric vehicles. T
A fuel cell is better suited IMHO.
In Brazil there are shops doing that, unfortunately I don't have a link.
Hopefully a brazilian member could confirm that?
You paid $30k for a new car and it's scrap because you're not allowed to fix it. What about large machines and trucks? Most of them are diesel powered. Are we going to stop whole road transport now because they want to reduce emissions?
It'll be exported to a non EU country, then repaired and set to drive again.
This is already a matter of implementation. I will assume that a fuel cell engine, such as the Toyota Murai, is a difficult option for the DIY concept (do it yourself). Although it is possible that Toyota will produce such kits for “modification”. the solution with batteries and electric motors is much simpler, so it will “go to the masses” faster and more widely. And this is another additional “trump card” in the deck of cards for electric vehicles.
Now, if we take it globally, electric cars have 2 problems:
- high-capacity, fast-charging, affordable batteries
- a source of cheap, affordable electricity.
And they are all being resolved... For example, I am very pleased with the news about the Thermonuclear Reactor launched on December 1 in Japan. Yes - experimental, but already a fully implemented solution.
