Now we’re in the “pro-BEV bullshit” zone. Batteries won’t magically solve all transportation needs, nor solve the energy storage requirements of the grid. Alternatives still have to exist anyways, and the total lifecycle efficiency of BEVs isn’t that special. In a lot of cases, avoiding excessive use of batteries will save you energy. So pursuing alternatives will not need radically more solar panels.
E-fuels or hydrogen made from green energy. With the latter you won’t even give up on the future being EVs. They are the actually sustainable forms of transportation that everyone can accept.
So it’s the same if you have to build 5 times as many solar panels to do the same thing? It’s just not.

Where did I say batteries were perfect?
If you can admit that, you can admit there can be superior options to BEVs.
Admit what? That they aren’t perfect? Yeah sure, nothing is. But where is the better option?

… But they are way more inefficient then batteries, which is what I’ve been saying all this time.
Which doesn’t matter, something I’ve been saying all this time.
And the efficiency of batteries has been massively exaggerated too.
energy prices are far from stable and efficiency plays a huge role in the feasibility of a technology.
The efficiency of e fuels is far below hydrogen and hydrogen is still a lot worse than battery.
