This isn't funny .... No, actually it's hilarious.
The climate saving flaming battery cars that use dirty coal to charge.

A couple months ago I got one of their "magazines" in the mail. in the back were all of the news cars that were going to be offered. I was shocked to see that most of them were electric vehicles. IIRC, only the Malibu was going to have a gasoline engine (as far as cars go.)
I thought at the time that this was a bit of a radical move for them. I don't know too many people who would put up with having to stop and spend hours waiting for a full charge -- especially if they were going somewhere that was at a distance. Not to mention that in my area there is no infrastructure currently for charging them.
I'm overjoyed to see that their wokeness is costing them. Hopefully, they -- and other car manufacturers -- will soon come to their senses.
One thing I've been wondering about: I've been doing some reading on Nikola Tesla's discoveries. As I understand it, he found a way to wirelessly transmit electricity. Is it possible that this could be used to power an electric car? If so, it would seem that you would no longer need a battery, as you could get the current straight out of the air. It would completely solve the problem of these nasty polluting and outright dangerous batteries, while still being able to produce a clean vehicle.
So, couple things, I don't know if Tesla envisioned highways lined with Tesla coils to power cars, but I think Netherlands has a road with induction charging but into the road.
Also, this battery problem is solved with solid state batteries. Graffeine layered matrix batteries work like a super capacitor. Charge very quickly, like 20 mins or less and discharge like a normal battery. The tech still needs some improvement, but its already 80% there and no nasty battery acid.
mass production is the major problem with graphene battery tech.
Yes it is.... hopefully sometime in the near future it won't be.
