Why are there no chademo compatible chargers from siemens?

Does this mean cars must be close to the ground...well no more off roading :/

The concept is cool but what about the battery? Batteries are not so environment friendly to produce. Battery technology has a long way to go. Somewhere the power grid will need a generator. It could be nuclear or gas. Also not so environment friendly.

@72mharris the needed infastructure would cost billions of billions of dollars to set up, we would need new generating stations, new transfer stations,new charging stations, upgraded lines etc etc, and these would only serve part of the autos at first so it would take many years to complete

@mageac like solar or wind? Think harder.

@GayBoyRunning But what about the 9/11 attacks leading to the Afghan war? You expect people to stop attacking the U.S. or the U.S. to stop reacting?

[GayBoyRunning]

@3DSismash well if every one stop starting wars, this world be a much better & safer future for everyone.. Tho today's age the countries around this world are too busy being selfish & greedy, that case fights & many problems.

@GayBoyRunning Don't forget to make a case for why the Army doesn't need as much funding. Otherwise, you'll never convince anyone.

[AdoradaGD]

hmm, interesting

[GayBoyRunning]

this is possible if only our government fund the research for a better transport future instead funding to the Army.
