so one battery is charging the other battery while it is also driving the motors?
even if batteries were 100% efficient there would be no point in doing this. the fact is that they aren't 100% efficient so you're pointlessly wasting charge and having to pay for 2 batteries.
congratulations you just designed a more expensive electric car that has significantly worse performance.
Fundamentally the whole electric rollout makes no sense by the time you take into account the carbon footprint of the battery, not forgetting you still have to charge the thing.
The only country that will benefit at the moment would be Iceland as a large percentage of their power is generated by Geo Thermal.
Poor old Sleepy Joe lol 3035
Bring back Trump 😆😆😆
Unbelievably the mining of Lithium actually makes the carbon footprint of the manufacture of the EV four times more than that of a petrol or diesel car
Then there’s the added problem of battery disposal at the end of their life
The problem people are overlooking is the second hand value of an Electric Vehicle
With petrol or diesel a hundred thousand miles is common- what’s the expected battery life of an EV ?
A little online research and manufacture’s are quoting depending on the make and model around £6-10,000 for a replacement battery
For me they are a fortune to buy new and leasing is expensive
The cost of charging has increased significantly making it not as attractive a proposition
The infrastructure is in its infancy leaving the driver frustrated as hell in finding an empty charging point at any motorway service
I borrowed my sisters EV on her insistence for the experience
I couldn’t wait to give it back 😫👍
I've got a hybrid it's a different driving experience has saved me money with benefits in kind .
Especially with Drakefords 20mph limit as the beast self charges at that speed via the automatic gear box..
I think folk need to think about leasing,especially with battery life and hi tech software in these cars .
Seems like only yesterday that the gifted and talented were telling us that the oil price crash was targeted at destroying the economies of OPEC countries and Russia.

Now the line seems to be that those very same OPEC countries and Russia are working in cahoots with "governments" to drive up the price of oil to make everyone penniless.
Presumably there is an oil price where the gifted and talented don't think the WEF and their disciples don't have the rest of us over a barrel (I know!) but I guess you wouldn't be gifted and talented if you let everyone know what that price was!
I'm not aware what news or speculation caused the spike in oil and natural gas prices before Friday's close. For WTI crude and nat gas to jump 5% and 7% respectively suggests something significant occurred.

Klaus and friends want the like of you and I off of fossil fuels.
If he deems it's impossible to persuade enough people to take far fewer unnecessary car journeys and jet off abroad for hols then he and they will ensure compliance through price hikes in those very fossil fuels.
We did comment on Sleepy Joe’s 3035 remark earlier lol 😂
Sleepwalking into the next elections
As for your comments NCB on prices coming down
They never do my friend 🤔
We’re not talking about a Sony Walkman or stereo where the prices drop when the masses start buying them
We’re talking about Electric Vehicles
The price of extracting the raw materials to make the batteries has increased
The carbon footprint of manufacturing is four times more than a diesel or petrol
Infrastructure is in its infancy
Cost of electric charge has spiralled
Second hand market is unstable
They are going to get more expensive not cheaper
The only way we’ll ever get cheaper transportation is to go back to the horse and cart like our pikey cousins down west 🐴
