I don't know. It is what it is, I guess yes, to move a 2 ton EV, that can be up to 80kwh charge for a large
SUV to travel 250 miles... it's... pretty good? Depends. If it's a 250 mile journey that's vital .. I don't know, deliverying organs (not the Hammon electric types), it's a 'miracle'. If you can charge it with solar panels overnight .. or rather store the power from the panels in a battery during the day and release that as maybe 6kw hour overnight 'trickle charge' .. great ... But then again, to be fair, however I look at it on a general replacement for mass transportation, it's crap. Product lasts 10 years then needs replacing, costly to mine and refine to replace, not particularly in any way at all whatsover practical when considered as mass everyone's got em transport.
I think they're ok for niche, that's about it. Clearly EDF are pushing the idea, and as france is the EU along with German greens and current uni party woke stich up, it's being pushed on Europe, in what is clearly just a virtue signal cash bonanza move that is going to make zero difference to 'slowing climate change'., Also better tech is being actively surpressed for development by this masssive powerful electric lobby.
Then there's the notion of keeping older cars on the road running on cleaner diesel, not the %&!*@ they sell as standard. If you want to actually be enviromentally friendly you'd do that. But it's really got fukc all to do with being enviromentally friendly, it's about ,.. ohh look at my new shiny big red/grey electric thing thing, it's so exciting!! About profits, about virtue signalling rubbish, about floorwell lights that come in a choice of 14 LED colours,. ohhh flash .. etc etc. Fukc all to do with saving any rainforest, everything to do wth a love of shopping (for certain consumers) and a love of making a lot of money, french business from banks to energy sector., and also helps their totalitairian dream of driverless cars, constant Chinese style surveillence, the ability to lock people down and deny all movement, etc.
