>600 USD/yr sounds like much less than the cost of a new electric car. Not only, it is much more than the difference of costs. If we assume that to buy a new EV you need only US$ 6,000[0] more than a corresponding ICE model, it make

Around ten years ago there was this "Smartbird" which was much more than a toy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmartBird but apart an initial hype I think it was never further developed. A video is linked fro

For long-haul hybrids do make a lot of sense, moving on the highways/out of cities on fuel, then switching to electric when entering them but - isn't there always a but - there is a much simpler solution already available, you use

You seem to me way too optimistic/entusiast on the matter. Volvo (which is BTW one of the more optimistic companies) is still today excluding long-haul trucks from being fully electric, and they have just started production of short-ha

Thank you for this. Matt Levine (as always) is documented, clear and adds a little touch of humour.

Not really, they are saying that the requirement for a second egress in multi-apartment buildings (which is not only a second fire door, it is also a second stair, etc.) makes too costly/complex mid size buildings. The first image on t
