Solid state batteries do not exist. I don’t know how many times I need to say this.
How long does it take to travel 100km in an EV vs a diesel car?
How long does it take to refuel/recharge an EV to travel 1000km vs a diesel car?
That’s why EVs don’t work for farming and transport.
AC essentially uses no fuel in modern cars. It gets VERY hot in Australia, and guess what is the enemy of batteries? Heat.
Households getting “free” power during the day (at the cost of more expensive power when you actually need it, at night time lol) doesn’t help farmers or transport companies. That’s when they’re out working, not charging.
You must be living in la la land, where diesel only costs 30c still, and Truck drivers drive 18hrs / 2000km a day lol. Also, on planet freedomadvocate, solar doesn't exist and EV batteries need replacement every year lol.
I'm guessing you'd be the guy onsite with the electric drill who spends 3 hours a day waiting in front of a makita charger, instead of having 2 sets of batteries and charging overnight or/and during lunch breaks lol
Such a silly argument.. i suggest you actually go do your research. I'm not responding again (as you're clearly don't realise that EV's charge overnight, and start the day fresh at 100%). They're not suitable for 100% of applications, but almost all of them
