@kingpins - I did say in my previous post, I meant it in 'jest' - it was simply a gut reaction to something I see frequently here on HC and had just finished trawling through the HC thread about the Bondi knivings
Btw I managed to find out last night, that the injured Baby, whose Mother died, will pull through.

Re your opinion on EVs - too many of the major car brands have invested in this new technology for it to fail - it's just a matter of improving it,
IMO only of course - I respect your experience in that field - alternative: ?
(I also had a friend, electrical engineer, inventor of all sorts of things, died two years ago unfortunately! He 'believed' EVs to be the future, despite driving an old-fashioned Porsche, which he dragged right across the world with him.). Just sayin . . .

(I know one man and his wife, who both drive an EV and are happy with it - I have to talk with him some more! the wife is a still working executive, husband was a professional bus driver.) ATM I have sold all my lithium holdings - had a good run with them.

There is an opinion abroad that the Chinese will come up with the next efficient and cheaper EV model.

So what, in your opinion, will be an alternative? Hydrogen?
Go well

Hi Tau
I hear what you say but in effect you base your whole premise on the invention of something that has never been tried, envisioned or planed

We are foolish to go though life based upon pure unproven dreams

On batteries:- they have and will remain the same as when they were invented hundreds of years ago, improvements yes but not to the degree that is required to do the job that so many people envisage as the laws of physics deny this possibility, not me the laws of physics

I am all for development but most of the major car makers who have now soaked up billions of taxpayer dollars are turning their backs on the EV as the free money is falling off, plus government bodies are realizing their foray into EV buses and truck was a foolish dream, so are off loading them as well

EVs will remain as a unique car for special purposes as they have been for about 60 years in commercial use but for a car for the masses it will have to wait for nuclear power or similar to be invented

IMHO Lithium batteries will remain but be limited to small power devices and de-tuned so as to not blow up, catch fire etc and be a danger
So the massive advance in stock price and mining that was envisioned will also have to be scaled back to be just one of the many special metals to be mined

This is all just my opinion, based on my experience and knowledge
