wow not like you to give up
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
I can’t get the link to show just the embedded picture from the article.
What I get out of it:
We are at present reliant on China
Battery production won’t meet demand until at least 2030
Production costs need to halve to get general public acceptance of EVs.
was this the article in the economic times?
It’s in the New York Times, Shaun.
Search for “The auto industry bets its future on batteries” and you’ll find it.
Wigwam , I admire your tenacity in trying to get at the article. I think people will be encouraged to go for EVs using the stick and carrot approach. The cost of EVs will come down but the cost of owning and driving ICE vehicles will invariably go up.
I certainly do not like the idea of relying on China and as such we need Europe as a whole to develop a battery technology and production capacity. At the moment the most advanced battery technology lies with China, the USA and South Korea with Europe just a bit player. That needs to change.
