To EV fans and fanatics everywhere,
It's Christmas, and I wanted to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday
season. EVs have come a long way, but still have far to go to reduce our
dependence on fossil fuels. Despite the "big guys" taking all the
credit, I don't think we would be where we are today without many of the
pioneers on the EVDL who proved that it *could* be done!
And I *still* think the pioneering spirit is needed. EVs are
intrinsically simpler and cheaper than ICEs; yet the automakers have
chosen to make their EVs even more expensive and complicated than their
ICEs. That may be the way to make luxury cars to enrich the auto
companies; but it won't put the world on electric wheels.
The world is still waiting for an affordable electric Beetle, Mini, 2CV,
or Ford model A. It may be more likely to come from a disruptive new
startup than an established auto company. Tesla already did that for
luxury EVs. Who knows... as with the IBM PC, small start-ups could well
spring up drive out the big boys by building much cheaper "clones".
In the past, I've often written little stories and poems for EVDL
readers to enjoy. Here are links to a few of them:
