"had 10 years to get ready decided that it was better to keep building diesel engines than invest in EVs". I actually think EU has no chance to compete with China on manufacturing. The energy is too expensive and taxes are too big. Maybe if they had built 100 nuclear plants (with the money they paid Putin in a year) they would have had a chance.
- theendisney4 2y agoBelieve it ir not, we've had superior electric vehicles for decades. They are called electric velomobiles and they are amazingly hard to google. You can buy them but they are made in such small quantities that they cost as much as a car. Here is some random example. https://www.sinnerbikes.com/en/modellen/comfort/comfort-e/ https://www.sinnerbikes.com/en/modellen/comfort/comfort-e/ 1990 The electric versions are somewhat lagging behind the human powered velo https://en.velomobiel.nl/snoek-l/ https://en.velomobiel.nl/snoek-l/ They are not cars but for transporting yourself from a to b they should do more than fine. Almost no power consumption very little danger als they are to light to do the infamous car crash. They use almost no space on the road and the road lasts much longer. You also get physical activity which extends life span. Travel normally consumes life span. Under 30 minutes per day you get to the destination in 0 minutes.
