Despite what people may think, electric vehicles are not new technology. At the turn of the 20th century, the majority of automobiles in the US were electric. Only until the 1920's did combustion engines overtake electric powered cars. Only if battery technology was better back then, we likely wouldn't even be using combustion engines today,(reply>), @Brennan Schaufler Planes are moving to hydrogen.,(reply>), Small nuclear is the only way forward with electric stuff. And planes will always have to be gas. Small nuclear for towns is great and we already know how to make this we put it in carriers and subs for the Navy. Combustion engines are great inventions they are extremely efficient in cost and don't have near the amount of impact that battery production does on the environments.,(reply>), There was even an attempt to have electric Nazi tanks in WW2...they were aweful and thus rejected...
