User ID: 37890237 United States07/07/2017 06:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In the last few days 2 countries have announced they will be stopping sales and manufacture of petrol and diesel cars. Quoting: curry nosher India stopping all non electric manufacture and import by 2030. France the same by 2040. Also Volvo have announced they are switching to hybrid and electric only cars in 2019. This is all in just 3 days so no doubt others will follow soon but this is going to have a huge impact on jobs worldwide. And what about the oil companies? While i dont care for them at all it is still going to affect the world in a huge way politically also! And what about motorsports? Are we seeing the last decade of petrol powered motorsports? How can it go on if the cars are not made anymore? Will it go all electric also like the e series like F1 and the IOM TT e series? Are motorbikes, trucks and buses going this way also?

Electric is cleaner, quieter, faster, more durable, has less moving parts, generates less heat, is more efficient per mile, allows for capturing the wasted energy in braking, allows the freedom to switch energy input sources, and can be produced at home. Of course everything's going to go lecture. They are superior to internal combustion engines in every meaningful way. The only drawbacks to date are battery technology and cost, but the inevitable March of technology will take care of that, too. My name is my mantra. |
