re: #112 Jack Burton in Mactified Forshion

I’ve watched enough very long videos on various EVs doing road trips to say, yes we do in fact need them in the US. Everyone of them was able to pull off the trip but with a lot of hoops and anxiety to deal with.

Another thing is if you can have a battery that does 1000 miles in the size of a 200-300 mile one now, it will make 200-300 mile batteries far smaller and lighter with that tech.

A third issue is the batteries lose a lot of range in the cold. Both in Europe and the US there are places in the winter that are cold enough to ruin your day with current EV batteries if you aren’t being *very* diligent.

I’ve seen stories about new aluminum based batteries. They have three times the voltage density of lithium ion batteries, but weigh three times as much.
