EV production often relies on coal power and harmful labor practices. Climate activists in 'Squid Games' costumes disrupted the LA Auto Show this weekend to demand urgent change.
I have an idea. What if we attached a power line directly to the car, so we didn’t need a battery? Of course, it’d only be able to run on specialized lines. To get the most out of those lines, we could chain cars together. And since the specialized hardware doesn’t make sense to own, we could have municipalities own them and charge a fare (or better yet, just make it part of taxes).
Great. I got another idea. Let’s take this train and put it in a station that isn’t near anything. Then we charge for parking. Then we make rideshare pickup far away from the platform so everyone has to walk in the dark rain passed the line of unmoving taxes. Oh the train station itself should double as a homeless shelter. If there is any food sold there it should be at 8000% above a grocery store (a small part t of me dies everytime I see Hudson sign). We shouldn’t use any new tech at all so it is a totally mystery when trains arrive and leave. Basic problems such as things broken should stay broken for months. Every single part of the experience should be as miserable as we can fucking make it.
BEVs aren’t the future. They are heavily dependent on mined metals and are basically unsustainable. Society has no choice but to move on beyond them.
There has been a great deal of advancement in battery recycling.
