For now, yes.
Electric vehicles backed by sustainable power, when we reach that distant but ever-nearing goal, will be pretty good. Not as fast as flying but maybe we’ll get practical commercial passenger electric aircraft at some point.
On the delivery of goods side of things, the Tesla Semi should also be a game changer. Efficient and door to door.
For trains, I’d love to see how much could be done with, say, a dedicated power (battery) car per pure electric locomotive. I’m not claiming this would be a win; it might be too heavy. But it would be interesting to know.
- baroffoos 8y agoElectric cars are still not good enough because they weigh so much more per passenger than electric trains
- natch 8y agoGood point. Wish we had more electric trains in the US. And you still need a solution for the last few miles after arriving at the train station.
- baroffoos 8y agoI think electric scooters are a valid solution to last mile problems. You can even bring your own on the train to have one on both sides.
