Why did the electric car die a hundred years ago?……why did GM kill it decades ago?

Ur speech would b even better if u stop saying, “if im being honest…” because what r u being all the other moments u don’t say that? Lying, dishonest? I don’t think so, but every time u start with offering that ur being honest, the unintended occurrence is that everything else u say without that preface is dishonest.

Really great to see this kind of investment in Africa, great talk and hope to see sustainable transportation spread across the continent, making it less dependable on BIG oil

Africa and the rest of the world are entering a new phase of electric vehicle adoption. The existing phase was primarily driven by environmental concerns, superior electric vehicle driving performance, and virtue/status signaling of customers willing and able to pay a premium for an electric vehicle. This new phase is driven primarily by economic, safety, and practical concerns as electric vehicle total costs of ownership and purchase prices fall below those of comparable internal combustion engine vehicles, and as new battery chemistries such as LFP and sodium ion become ever cheaper, longer lasting, and exceedingly safe.
