A comment on Kandi K27 electric car available in California for $7,999 after rebates. Parent comment
* electric cars allow us to tap into "free" energy (i.e. base load we can not turn off at night)
* we can innovate much more on electric (generation, transmission, storage) than we can on ICE (gains are largely realised)
* centralised emissions are easier to manage than decentralised emissions
Does electric pollute? Yes. Should we stick to ICE? Hell no.
