A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

3000 miles ought to be enough charge for anybody.

First of all why only mention EV's? Surely if batteries are potentially going to be increased by that much capacity they will benefit many other people with huge potential for massive benefits to mankind, like medical provision, global warming by increasing storage of natural energy, providing power to remote places, etc, etc. Second, I expect a big backlash from oil companies who seem to be trying to push hydrogen vehicles at the moment to keep people reliant on them. Cars with a range of 3000 miles would kill that and their companies. In fact it would have the potential to massively impact the world as we know, including a massive impact on the oil states. This is far from just a piece of news that impacts only EV's.
