Great point! The wrong EVs are pushed on us. For example, a small 2 seater (think Smart) would be what I would run 90% of the time while keeping my diesel-fueled car for long road trips or when I need to transport big things. However, super small and cheap EVs do not exist. The second thing here is that if you have two cars registered, tax and insurance doubles although I would only be using one vehicle at a time. IMO the industry needs to be forced by the governments to produce the EVs that people realistically need and a majority can afford. Then there needs to be a possibility to own multiple vehicles and not having to pay tax/insurance for all of them all the time. With all modern cars it would be super easy to track them and the owners pay only for the actually driven miles. That would also financially incentivise less driving. ATM ownership of a vehicle is expensive, but usage is relatively cheap. Turn this around and make ownership cheap and the use expensive.
imho ownership will get less and less attractive over time, it justs needs cheaper mobility as a service solutions
In principle you do not own any car that has a link to the internet. The manufacturer can turn it off and blackmail you for more money at any time. I am not even getting started on the right to repair, which should come with ownership. As much as e.g. Tesla tries to stop independent repair shops to work on their cars, I pretty much question who owns the car. You? Naaa, Tesla doesn't think so. But great that you paid a fortune for "partial ownership".
Compared to you? Poverty. That and an entire industry built on maximum profitability, not long-term sustainability. You can build whatever you want here with enough money, but deviating from common standards is for le rich.
You really don't know much
Hydrogen seems to be working pretty damn well. No range anxiety, no batteries. We have a few green hydrogen plants being trialled here now.
hydrogen for what?
we all live off your trust fund or family money like you do?
i sell bikes. in a bikeshop. does that make me rich?
This is a solution if you live in the city. I do not because I could not afford a house there that I liked. While in Denmark public transport is generally great, if you are getting away from the bigger cities it falls apart quickly. Here for example they are thinning out the bus routes by either closing them down or running busses less frequent. I would have to take the bike 5 km to get to the nearest bus stop anyway. My 25 km commute is faster on a bike than by bike/public transport, however, as I often work long hours, I take the car too often.
My bad I thought we were still rambling about mass transport, shipping and automobiles. That's what we've been getting into hydrogen for.
just start charging 110chf/h and you can have a decent salary too!
nope, maybe for flying. even ships should rather run on ammoniak than hydrogen, just too inefficient
and davos!You can use hydrogen to blow up e-bikes though.
You forget the energy lost by driving a super heavy vehicle around all the time.
Switzerland's surface is 1/7th of the Buenos Aires province here in Argentina, they better figure out transport.
littered with mountains
Moar in my favor, your farming/housing surface is even smaller. Plus you're the definition of tax haven, so it's no surprise you have money to throw away.
Ahahahhahaha what a load of shit
Dr. Nick you crack me up! Where was this?

It's okay if they're wasteful for money
I realize this is getting in the way of the pile on on Switzerland hydro here, but I'd like to note that my built-in-2015 house has R-38 walls and R-50 in the attic. and that 13.94 kW of PV. and good solar gain from south facing window banks.
Wait...Did I see a line item for the Nurburgring race track?
I'd start with stop giving my tax money to overseas countries. And maybe spend it on our own country.
Is that the "Pius" episode? Making fun of the Toyota Prius. I swear, South Park, Simpsons, several others, really predict the future. Even from several years ago. Almost like peeps are watching this and getting ideas and even promotions from using their fiction and turning into reality. What's next? Taming giant worms for spice in the desert? (Dune reference)
that’s you, on the exhaust of your motorbike, when seeing an ebiker, reassuring that you’re superior motor powered biker in the woods
