Researchers achieve EV battery breakthrough with silicon-based materials and gel electrolytes, moving closer to a 1,000-kilometer range on a single charge.
Sorry, but if your argument is “here’s a shit product. It’s also more expensive, but you should still buy it because it’s marginally better for the planet,” it’s going to fail to achieve mass adoption. I care very much about environmental sustainability, but I’ve been around the sun enough times to know that the way to achieve that is with better and cheaper products. We should use technology to reduce environmental impact and improve our lives. It’s not one or the other.
So… if the technology isn’t improving your life you continue to use the one that’s making everyone else’s life worse? Even if you have the means to switch to the marginally less damaging one, that’s marginally more annoying? Sounds like serious entitlement to me. The idea that no downgrade is acceptable is niave AF.
