How so? Batteries are simple and amenable to massive economies of scale that ice engines are not
- taeric 2y agoI'm curious why you think batteries that can run a car are simple? Literally new technology, no?
- dalyons 2y agoThey’re complicated and hard to develop initially, but are fundamentally physically and mechanically simple and thus simple to manufacture cheap at scale. Whereas ICE engines are developed tech but are intrinsically complicated to build. If that makes sense
- taeric 2y agoIt somewhat makes sense, but they are very much not chemically simple? Nor are any of the electronics that are required for safe charging and use simple. That they have simple packaging is largely a distraction from how complicated they are. Just as you wouldn't claim computers are simple just because a chunk of silicon is simple.
