Not much convinced: we have different kind of nearly-identical ICEs vehicles burning a certain range of chemicals like: petrol, diesel, alcohol, gazogene, synfuel of various kind (from ammonia derivates to modern biodisel) to liquefied petroleum gases and methane. For EVs we have just variation of lithium battery tech on board and few classic ways to produce electricity to recharge them. It's not different. The different part is in performance terms and in scalability terms. Can we produce AND RECYCLE batteries for any personal vehicles and eVTOL? I doubt and I'm not alone. Articles like https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3vny5/glorified-electric-golf-carts-for-all https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3vny5/glorified-electric-go... or https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/uk-eliminating-car-ownership/ https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/uk-eliminating... seems to confirm what we are really heading: most will live in cities like [1] essentially traveling only locally by feet, bicycles and wired public transports (rails, metro etc), very few will live well outside moving like https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-report.pdf https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/default/files/dfu/uam-full-... it might sound "a dream" but try too look WHO ARE the dreamers and what they actually do... Oh, BTW we always talk about personal vehicles and homes, nothing about industry, transports etc... What the vision for them? New sailing tall vessels like [2] are no less dreams with little practical usage, H₂ propelled airplanes etc are on the same level. That part is CONSTANTLY omitted in Green discussions like the new geothermal heat pump can born in the house backyard. Sure additive manufacturing is a promising revolution but so far is not much more than a promise. Sure the dream of fusion reactors, perhaps small enough to be embedded in homes, cars etc would be a game-changer but so far what's on the table?
