It would be far better to generate synthetic gasoline from atmospheric carbon, if such a thing were possible. Then you don't need to replace all the cars or all the fuel (energy) delivery infrastructure.
- chii 5y agoI think synthetic fuels works better in large transport vehicles, like planes and cargo ships. These require hi-density fuels, and electrification of these do not work. for personal vehicles, i think EV works well, as electricity generation is far more efficient than synthetic fuel generation, and battery at this weight scale and distance works great. So you'd have a middle use-case - trucks and lorries - which i'm unsure if electrification works for. Presumably, it would, but only if charging stations are dotted around a lot more places, including remote areas.
