@@BatteryLife I bought yesterday in Hamburg E10 with 161.99, so 50 liters are a little over 80 Euros. I am not able to charge at home and the closest super charger is at almost 10kms away. So in order to charge my car quickly I need to spend at least an hour and a half, to pay just for the trip 3 Euros and between 10-20% of the battery. It's nonsense for me. I have 4 gas stations on a radius of 500m of my home. I need 5 minutes to go there and back, less than 50c for the trip and less than 1% of my fuel tank. Where is the advantage of the EV? I like a lot your videos, but at the moment, I believe the EVs are a step back just because nobody cared 50 years ago about our planet, and now we have to adopt ancient technologies like Li-ion batteries because we do not have something else better (for example batteries like fuel tanks with the precharged electrolytes). Rules and regulations are necessary to force the manufacturers to adopt standard interchangeable batteries and interfaces, to limit the power, weight and speed of the cars, to develop Euro standards for EVs and people to pay more taxes per kg, kWh, W, km/h, price, and indirect pollution.
