Interesting article.
But for major manufacturers to start taking this thing seriously, perhaps they might have to die, go out of business, which might come if they were not bailed out by external sources. But bailing a dying concern out, where is the economic sense in that if the concern is failing to adapt to new markets. Oh, I get it, jobs and jobs for the boys, livelihoods hopes aspirations and all that hinges on a manufacturers existence, but at what point is it that it is time to call it a day and do something else.
I fear the working world is going to have to descend into chaos before something new comes forth to fill the gaps in society, and chaos undoubtedly means reduced living standards, riots and unrest for a troubled government that really has it's hands full, but if they can't handle the nitty gritty with the trappings of power, maybe they shouldn't be there.
But back to vehicle manufacture and the power cells that are needed, perhaps it is all swamped in a sea of red tape or interests are hampering the new technology, where do we point the finger, for in it will always be greed somewhere along the line, people who don't care for anything other than their continued wealth and power, the selfish amongst us.
But in time, I expect the far east will take control of the EV market, for they will always do their own thing and where there is profit to be made, they will be milking that profit for all it is worth, perhaps even in our dinosaur mentality the Far East will be the world's saviours.
