Find and review this podcast on Podchaser! Topics Discussed: No one cares about panel gaps We need to shut up about deeply technical aspects of EVs when the average consumer literally doesn't know or care about them We need to stop making such a (public) deal about battery chemistries No one cares about megacastings Solid state batteries will not save us Education isn't a significant barrier to electric vehicle adoption EV weight is and isn't an issue Tesla charger shouldn't become the standard Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Battery recycling Sedans! Return-on-Investment (ROI) doesn't mean anything to most individuals when making vehicle purchasing decisions Autonomous driving Hydrogen makes zero sense for passenger vehicles and never will Other alternative fuel industries have absolutely shot themselves in the foot and it's hard to imagine them recovering in the long term The term "zero emission" needs to be abolished We both should and shouldn't care so much about public transit in decarbonization efforts Marine and rail are important, but not the most pressing need
