[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3369012, member: 24500"] Y'all are right about the lack of currently viable renewable tech. Batteries are a limiting factor right now in the US. It's ironic that the sheer size of our country prevents the current tech from being efficient. Sure there's power stations and super chargers along the way, but it still comes back to oil and gas providing the power. It's less of a problem in Europe because while the EU is comparable to the US, countries are smaller. There is hope though. They've developed aluminum-ion batteries that while having 1/3 less voltage than Li-Ion bats, they produce more than double the discharge wattage and can charge in minutes rather than hours, fast charge in seconds. Filling up an EV running on these could be as fast as filling up the truck one day. Their biggest problem they're trying to tackle in that tech is longevity. While the battery is electrically superior by a wide margin, the lifetime is limited by the chemistry... but they're working on it. It's only a matter of time before they crack it. They just need to turn loose the mad scientists. [/QUOTE]
