Most EVs are direct drive and don't even have a transmission.
What do you think there future is and would you by one ?

It's a bit of a moot point. 96% of Americans drive automatic cars anyway so it should make no difference. You WILL drive an EV in the future whether you like it or not because FOSSIL FUELS ARE FINITE
Those here who spend their time arguing that renewable energy sources are so difficult and that technology isn't capable of running our infastructure forget this one word. YET.
If you are not 100% behind using what renewables technology we currently have available then you're just shortening the time we have left having the life we are so accustomed to.
I think research into super clean, natural alternative fuels will lag behind our needs for maybe a couple of hundred years (and let's not forget we've only had 'power' for about 200 years now.) Longer than it will take to burn up fossil fuel.
We already have the answer although it's not the best. We have to go nuclear in a big way for the foreseeable future. Not without risk but there is no other way at the moment.
Continued research into solar, wind and hydro electric should see us self sufficient with what the cosmos throws at us by 2300ad or so. Energy storage systems will improve dramatically within that time allowing us to harness this clean power.
It's the old adage. 'If you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem'
Where do you stand?
So how do you get all those inputs for electric cars, batteries, and semiconductors?
No way. Until electric cars can have their roofs built of the same material as solar panels they just aren't feasible
I was at a gas station in St Augustine Florida last week which also doubled as an Arbys
They had an electric charging station. I noticed an EV sitting there waiting for the persons in front of them finish charging their vehicles. Me and my lady went inside, had a leisurely lunch at Arbys and then went next door for Coffee.
When we came outside about 45 minutes later that SAME EV was still in the SAME spot waiting for their opportunity to charge their vehicle

Of necessity is how bud. When the only other option is 'or not' then things will happen.
Let me ask. Do you envisage a world returned to an agricultural entirety with mud hut dwelling villagers rising with the dawn and working till the sun goes down?
That's the only other option. So why don't you use a proportion of that expensive modern education you were lucky enough to be born into to mind hive an answer instead of nay saying like a pointless compass

The Tesla solar panels are superior to every other product on the market right now. We are planning on installing those when we do the roof, but we will get them at wholesale since my best friend and her brothers run the largest solar company in the area… Tesla is their highest selling panel this summer.
I’m not sold on Tesla. My cousin bought one last year and has already traded it in for a Subaru. She was pulled over on the side of the road and missed most of a family baby shower charging the damn thing.
I do like that Tesla has cameras at every angle of the vehicle, which will come in handy for a he said, she said collision situation.
I like what they look like… but the charging inconvenience has already been proven a pain in the ass.
The first electric car was made in 1832.What do you think there future is and would you by one ?
Where's that? The 3/4s where the sun isn't shining?75% of planet Earth will not be suitable for electric cars
You are arguing from the pov that their will be no improvements in either energy production, or energy storage, lots of static that Elon and others may be on the verge of the next level of battery technology....if so, that could def. shake things up.Fossil fuels will have an extremely long tail. Extremely long. Not just for the plastics and lubricants electric cars will need but because 75% of planet Earth will not be suitable for electric cars. Shit, several billion people still use wood or coal to cook with in 2022. Kerosene is an unaffordable dream and that tech comes from the 1840's.
They are still being improved and developed 190 years later.
I'd say their future is bright as a 100 watt bulb.
Watch of Peter Zeihan because very little of the Earth gets a pay back on solar

Did you not understand the primary message in the above statement?
