Hello I don’t know if the thread is in the right place here, but the Tesla compartment here probably has the most readers who deal with electric cars, I would like to ask the following questions: Do electric cars have a future at all? And this is for the following reasons: For the first time it is clear that electric cars are more efficient in themselves, their efficiency is about 80% ? They do not emit exhaust gases, that is also nice. Anyway, they are only in direct wise energy efficiency Indirectly they would be a disaster. The electricity used to charge the electric cars is usually produced in a coal-fired power plant or oil-fired power plant (which itself is only 30% energy efficient). There are also heaps of exhaust gases. And yes, most of the electricity at least in Germany is produced from fossil power plants. And I don’t think we want to set up even more power plants in all of Germany. And not to forget the electricity supply. (Well, petrol also has to be transported to the petrol station = loss.) Absolutely in my opinion electric cars are less energy efficient. I think they will only exist in a small framework because there is a small market gap that can be filled exactly with Tesla or another brand. But I think that these companies will not be much bigger than they are. In the overall balance I think the small cars that consume about 3l / 100 km consume a Hybrid cars also have good chances, but only if batteries are developed, which consist of raw materials that are available in excess and are cheap in production and recycling. Electric cars would have chances, but only if power plants would exist, which energy would be generated from renewable energies. Solar panels are far too inefficient. And with wind power clouds, the wind doesn’t blow all the time. electric cars are a great thing from the technical point of view and deserve respect. But don’t prove themselves if everyone had one. Has this been discussed before, are there solutions to the problems raised?
