Or just to extend this a bit further, maybe we keep ICE for a few specific applications? I want a full conversion just as much as anyone who lives on this plan

I want a full conversion just as much as anyone who lives on this planet does, but I can see some cases being allowed for as our technology catches up to the lingering problems.
- jdc0589 4y agothats what will happen. Think about farmers, people in more rural areas, homesteaders, etc... There is no high capacity supercharger network there and isn't likely to be. ICE machinery is incredibly important to them. A total conversion to electric isn't feasible in a lot of places like that.
- rootusrootus 4y agoSome people will have niche cases for sure, but I've talked to a number of farmers who drive EVs both on the road and on their farm and are really happy with it. They do get electric service too, that's not just something only city dwellers get.
- SpeedilyDamage 4y agoI dunno if "farmers as a whole" is acceptable, nor necessary. I was just speaking of NYC garbage trucks.
- legitster 4y agoI think this is exactly why carbon sequestration technology is so important. During our lifetime there are certain ICE applications that we really have no good alternatives for. So finding a palatable cost for carbon removal we are collectively willing to pay buys us a lot of options.
