Batteries have become much cheaper, making energy storage far more affordable.
making electrified transport a reality
Electrified rail remains the most efficient form of transportation and has been available since the late 1800s…
People are just so obsessed with cars that they ignored the safest, most efficient, and environmentally friendly option for over a hundred years.
I guess the future is bound to be filled with dangerous traffic with even heavier cars, and filled with millions of batteries filled with lithium mined by impoverished children.
The infrastructure to build and run would be enormous in most of the US. In smaller, more compact countries, sure. But in the area I live, I couldn’t imagine this.
And yet the US has an interstate highway network that requires constant maintenance far exceeding that of a railway network
Buy SLDP. Solid state battery company It’s the next big thing.
Why would you choose this over others?
It’s the only company that has true solid state technology that it can produce at scale. Or, soon will be able to. Its main business model is selling the electrolyte powder to battery manufacturers. Do some reading on seekingalpha.com if you are interested
We all dream of electric open source vehicles and public transit!
Like electric bicycles with controllers that can be easily swapped, programmed, and tinkered with?
Yes, but also for cars, VTOL’s, trams, trains. HSR, boats, submarines, airplanes, etc that people can make. In future airships similar to Treasure Planet (but for on-planet not in space), and spaceships as more. Mechs, exosuits, etc are other stuff open source community-run would be good for
Should’ve put a fourth line to make sure we understand the drop
