I agree, but the problem is cost. I'm no longer a driver but following motorsport, particularly endurance racing, I follow this quite closely. Mercedes has recently announced this https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/t...t-be-necessary and I've been under the impression now that sodium batteries are preferable because of fire safety issues and not efficiency. It's depressing because we're seeing the negative environmental effects of capitalism on alt-energy development which is why I've now become very skeptical of the Green Economy. That doesn't mean I'm a climate change denier. Far from it.
