It Is Difficult to Get a Country to Change Something When Their Profits Depend on not Charging It.
It's not just solar and batteries China has a lead in. ICE cars requires many precise manufacturing that Germany has lots of experience with.
Electric cars are way more simpler and China has a leg up here.
- bobthepanda 3y agoThey are simpler but that doesn’t mean they are more reliable yet. At least in the US electric cars score poor reliability pretty consistently, because there’s a lack of maturity and quality.
- Ygg2 3y agoI'm not taking about reliability. I'm talking about complexity. ICE have a method of converting gasoline explosions to rotational energy which powers the drive and the battery. Electric car have a method of converting electrical potential to rotational energy. Germany is very specialized in making precise part for ICE that just don't exist in Electrical cars. Could they be reoriented for something more? Maybe but not in near term.
