Know what’s better than a battery that charges fast? A train with a catenary that never has to charge at all
It’s not remotely realistic to expect a sudden drastic change in infrastructure like that. While we should work toward such goals, statements like this are ignorant of the time and efforts necessary to affect such change.
I’m getting so sick of the anti-car crowd commenting this stuff on anything related to cars. Like yes, we know, public transportation is good and a great goal. But they’re just so out of touch with reality most of the time.
Seriously. In fact we’re doing both things in a lot of places.
For most people, it doesn’t matter unless it’s happening near them. Source: Texan.
Kinda telling on yourself by calling it “drastic”. What exactly is “severe” or “rapid” about supporting alternative methods of transportation?
Then build me a railroad track fucker.
Sure is. You should build out the infrastructure since no one else seems to want to.
I’d love to see you take a trash lumber pile or fence clippings to the landfill with a train. If I didn’t own a truck I would have already needed to rent one twice this week
Damn, you really incensed a whole bunch of people who seem to like living in soulless, identical car-centric hells. What normal person thinks you expect “a sudden drastic change” from a silly comment like this?
Thing about reactionaries, they tend to react
How does that get me from my house to somewhere near my house? Or is this something I’m supposed to pay higher taxes for that won’t service anything near me?
It doesn’t. Public transportation only really works in dense environments. The rub is that the default mode of development across the US has been suburban sprawl, which basically makes the “last mile” - from the bus/train route to your house / business / shops - impractical.
Best we can do given this state of affairs is build good transit and densify around the stops with infill development. Continuing the pattern of sprawl just makes every problem related to transportation harder - longer commutes, more traffic, higher amount of energy consumed to get from point A to point B.
Anyway, hope this battery tech works out because a lot of us are stuck with expensive personal vehicles as our only viable option given the way our cities are laid out.
Ugh, me? Living in a SOCIETY where I have to PAY for things I don’t USE?! What’s next, paying for SCHOOLS when I don’t have KIDS?!
Baron Homer would like a word.
