RE: The Electric Car - Making Death And Taxes A Bit Less Inevitable!

in #technology7 years ago

A great post! Congratulations on writing about Electric Cars. The ICE is in its death throws...after 120 years or so, but humanity is NOT ready (yet). Or should I say the Military / Industrial Octopus that controls us has deemed us not ready. Are technology breakthrough's being hidden from humanity? What did Nikola Tesla know?

Of course early adopters like some on Steemit already know the benefits.

As a one time ICE motor car enthusiast, I have also been more interested in electric motors and batteries of late. The electric car drive train is so much less complicated that the contemporary ICE with so many moving parts that require oil! For obvious reasons it is time to quit driving oil burners.

Of course this will mean large scale disruption to the status quo, just like crypto-currency is going to be revolutionary with respect to banking and government taxation regimes.

Unfortunately batteries are the sticking point, but many are working on energy storage [perhaps a dense capacitor?] and no doubt, fast charging, range anxiety and high cost will be solved soon.

As Clif High recently predicted, we are about to see a repeat of the Roaring Twenties and it appears certain electric vehicles for the masses will be part of the landscape, notwithstanding all the disruption to the oil industry and motor manufacturers / repairers that will ensue.

Think of clean air in the large cities as an entrée to a new paradigm of the 2020's!

Thanks, yes, clean air in cities will be amazing! I studied with a couple of free energy groups a while ago and saw some tech there which looked genuine and which I rarely hear about that uses the earth's magnetic fields as energy sources. There's also the possibility of wireless electricity which could feed cars from cables next to major roads, so batteries might not be such a sticking point if we keep our minds open.
