People do run BEVs themselves with solar panels

On the other hand, you'd need a mini electrolysis plant as well if you want to do that with Fuel Cells.

Also batteries can get recycled easily - especially in the future where decommissioned car batteries give the demand the economics of scale. Also Na-Ion batteries are on the horizon

If Apple had any intention to switch to USB-C on their own, they would've done so with the iPhone 7.

I have a license to operate a scooter from where I live, and I really believe that past a certain point - like ⅓HP and 15MPH of European standards, know-how of the roads is a must Having said that the problem is registering an E-Bike can add too much cost to the bike itself. Motors and control systems can be imported from China for pennies now compared to the registry. And I can see first hand that bigger e-bikes are non-existent in the market as an aspiring commuter wouldn't know how crap ⅓HP motors can get on hilly roads, so they buy those unintentionally.
