Interesting that heavy trucks have risen so much while the regulated cars and trucks have dropped almost the same amount.

If the big part of the market is offshore you will have to add transport costs to the selling price. Otherwise, it's a great addition to solar and wind to supply power 24/7, and for winter heating.

"Precision of electrode coating is an essential factor for efficiency and costs of battery cell production. Even smallest production errors make battery cells unusable. Due to the high reject rate and the low throughput, lithium-ion batteries today are more expensive than actually necessary. " So any reduction in failure rate means less waste and therefore less pollution.

For California with very low coal utilization and many EV owners having solar it will be lower than most states. If you're going that way though, let's calculate the CO2 emitted transporting gas to the stations, and for all the gas and diesel vehicles involved in the drilling and processing industries etc.

there is no " dubious benefit in reducing GHG emissions." in the use of BEVs. It has been well studied and proven to be of much greater benefit. The obvious problem with hybrids is the continued support of the oil industry as well as the added complexity and maintenance of a gas or diesel motor.

Commented Jun 19, 2019 on Emissions Analytics: mass adoption of hybrids, rather than low-volume BEVs most effective for cutting CO2 now, meeting 2030 targets; best use of limited resource at Green Car Congress

No, no, no and no. "A wide variety of fuels are able to produce hydrogen, including renewables, nuclear, natural gas, coal and oil." This plan is meant to keep the oil industry as our masters. To continue wars for control. Solar and wind are democratic. You can have your own and control your costs.

OK, so Exxon alone posted $2.35 Billion (down from $4.65B a year ago) for the FIRST QUARTER of this year. So add Mobil's profits to that. Now they are willing to put approx. 1/2500 of that....spread over TEN YEARS into green washing. Impressive.

Musk is doing it right. His neural network controlled autopilot will make cars smart enough to go anywhere. Things are constantly changing in the real world. Bridges wash out. Landslides along mountain roads. Construction sites appear, accidents happen. Any car that depends on a map from space will run right into all kinds of problems.
