Batteries are soon to be dead
Batteries are soon to be dead, they are hitting the stops on energy density, efficiency, reliability and the total energy cost and CO2 cost of making and recycling them. The US makes the best trucks in the world, and the German make the best passenger cars. Germany will have 400+ hydrogen fuel stations by 2020, California will have a lot too - the world is going hydrogen fuel cell, admittedly assisted by some battery storage, but the idea is MUCH more efficient and more life-cycle efficient than tons of batteries on board. Wake up Tesla, or you'll be a flash in the pan...
