  • We used to lift cities up to support sewer systems and now adding relatively simple infrastructure seems out of reach. Neoliberalism has completely ruined our ability to invest in public infrastructure

  • That might be true for older cars that didn't have good thermal management systems (like the old Nissan leaf) but not true anymore. Electric car batteries now regularly reach over 100k miles with only small degradation. If you baby it, it seems that 200k miles with only 10% range loss is to be expected now

  • Hydrogen is terrible. It is much more expensive than even gasoline, adds way more complexity compared to all electric, and extremely inefficient. It's a joke. It might make sense for semis in the future but will never make sense for passenger cars. The Mirai is a concept science experiment sold as a consumer car.

    Batteries are expensive to replace right now but that's only because we don't have battery recycling infrastructure yet. Eventually they will be much cheaper to replace. Already, even factoring replacing the battery every 100k miles, electric cars are cheaper to own than gas and many batteries are known to last 200k+ miles. It really is only the Leaf that has the shitty battery that needs replacing.
