Can we have an electric car dominated society soon? The main issue is recycling the batteries, and other hazards associated with it. I believe it is a good way to fight climate change and reduce pollution.
Define “soon”Can we have an electric car dominated society soon?
No, this is not the main issue.The main issue is recycling the batteries, and other hazards associated with it.
I’m happy for you.I believe it is a good way to fight climate change and reduce pollution.
What is the main issue?
Norway is on track on ending the sell of new fossil fuel cars by 2025.
Yeah.......
I'd love to see a few hundred thousand happy Norwegian help this guy dig out your minerals for you.
Can we have an electric car dominated society soon?
No.
Dude, this is the kind of post that gets you banned from the republican party. Pollution to some folks is a bad thing, to others, it's money. We don't need no stinkin' regulations on pollution, that kind of crap screws up our profits.Can we have an electric car dominated society soon?

Imagine a hypothetical world where every single car is a battery electric, and charged from a carbon free source. It would cut global CO2 emissions by about 10%. Net zero is a cut of 44%. In the real world that the cut would not be 10% because the cars would not be changed from carbon free sources and could take several decades.Can we have an electric car dominated society soon?

A large percentage of electric power is still produced from fossil fuels. So the shift to electric cars is not so much a revolution, as a demand for revolution.
I'm more interested in the revolution which will come with self-driving cars. Granting equal mobility to everyone, at only slighter greater cost, will achieve what even the best public transport has failed to achieve. Government will be able to issue "autonomous taxi vouchers" to the elderly and disabled. And to the poor also: poor people need transport to attend job interviews, and one of the questions they will be asked is whether they have their own car. If they can say unequivocally Yes, they can afford autonomous taxis to work, they're on a level footing with applicants who say Yes they own a car.
Ideally, self-driving cars and vans can fill the needs of delivery which currently adds to congestion on our roads. But before that happens there will be multiple vans, only partly full, actually making congestion worse. To hurry the transition I would tax all vehicles by miles traveled. And if autonomous vehicles prove themselves, then also institute roads and freeways where driver-vehicles suffer an added tax. Bad driving is the main cause of congestion: it forces good drivers to be more 'defensive' not to mention causing accidents.
A lot of people enjoy driving, but I think most of them would gladly trade it away, in exchange for getting where they are going more quickly, more reliably, and with less chance of dying.

I think the current crop of battery electric cars are not a real solution, better battery technology could change that, but has been slow to develop.
I think man made carbon neutral fuels have a much better possibility.
I don’t think the idea of using private car batteries as a way to sustain the electrical grid is a bit of a pipe dream, what benefit would the car owner get for using up very limited charge cycles on their private car?The level of CO2 emissios for vehicles are that high even with billions of people still not being able to afford a car. So it shows the great need to both a rapid transition towards electric cars but also create more affordable and sustainable alternatives to private car ownership.
There electric vehicles can also be used for energy storage and thereby help to speed up the transition towards renewable energy.
I think so. We have to keep in mind that there was a lot of problems with the petrol based automobile, so it stands to reason such will be true for the next generation of transportation.Can we have an electric car dominated society soon?

Supplying the grid on a regular basis would greatly shorten the battery life. Added charge and discharge cycles will break down the batteries quickly. How will that provide a financial benefit to the car owner beyond storage of their own solar power?Electric car batteries already have long lifespans so that car owners can financial benefit from using the battery for energy storage. There electric car batteries can also get a second life as energy storage.
"“The battery will outlive the car,” says Graeme Cooper confidently. “Today, most EV batteries have a life expectancy of 15 to 20 years within the car – and a second life beyond.”
It’s also worth noting that EV battery technology is still evolving, so as tech develops we expect batteries’ lifespan to increase – as well as becoming cheaper, smaller and even lighter."
What happens to old electric car batteries? | National Grid Group
While electric vehicles are recognised as reducing carbon emissions, we still get lots of questions about the life of electric car batteries and whether they will end up in landfill, potentially knocking electric cars’ green credentials.www.nationalgrid.com
Reversing the charge
Electric vehicles could soon boost renewable energy growth by serving as “energy storage on wheels” — charging their batteries from the power grid as they do now, as well as reversing the flow to send power back and provide support services to the grid, finds new study by researchers at the MIT...news.mit.edu
There are also electric cars with the range that is ten times more than the daily commute. So it can be great opportunities to charge the car than the supply of electricity is high and the price low.
Not until an electric car can go 3-400 miles on a charge. Then recharging them takes about 5 minutes or so that it takes to fill up a gas tank today. With electric cars, long trips or vacations are out of the question. Then how much room does the batteries take inside the car. I assume if one is only using the electric car to drive to and from work, school or shopping, then that would work. Less than 100 miles a day or around that.Can we have an electric car dominated society soon? The main issue is recycling the batteries, and other hazards associated with it.

I have a Ford Maverick hybrid pickup on order and will report after I have it a while.Not until an electric car can go 3-400 miles on a charge.

I’m not sure how these hybrid electric cars work. When one is driving on gas, that that charge up the batteries? If so, perhaps hybrids is a way to go short term. Then how much do electric cars costs? Are they cheaper then gas fueled vehicles or more expensive? Again I don’t know. Could they ever replace my truck which I live out in the country? I’ll stick with what I got.
They are the same price, I think the base model 2023 was ~$21,000. The only problem is they take a long time to get one.Okay, a quick question. What is the price difference on a Ford Maverick hybrid pickup and a regular Maverick that runs on gas only?
