It takes no effort to make an EV. They are the simplest type of car imaginable. They even pre-date ICE cars.

- two_handfuls 3y agoTrue. But it takes a lot of effort to make a competitive EV. The competition has optimized air and rolling resistance, battery chemistry, and battery cooling/management software.
- _hypx 3y agoThat's nothing compared to all conventional cars.
- maximus-decimus 3y agoJudging from the fact their EV was losing its wheels, there's also the problem of handling the extra torque, although I can't imagine that would take long to fix if they care at all.
- _hypx 3y agoThat sounds like a very minor problem. EV fans just love false drama it seems.
- pornel 3y agoYes, and it takes no effort to make a rocket. Just put fuel in and ignite it. 100-year-old tech. Making affordable EVs with a good range and fast charging is hard. Toyota' EVs are relatively expensive, and their batteries and drivetrain are mediocre.
