But remember, electric motors also require next to no maintenance and can last for many years of runtime. Pros and cons.

Well, I just said carbon fiber, but to be more exact it is forged carbon SMC, so yeah, careful engineering involved. Same stuff Lamborghini is using for some structural components, so probably fairly fit to purpose.
Well, it has a carbon fiber frame with a crumple zone in the front. They are going to put it through 3rd party safety testing. It won’t be as safe as a big SUV, sure, but I think it will be safer than an ebike. It also protects you from weather and has 35 cubic feet of storage in the back. I think ebikes are great too, but this does have more of the advantages of a car.
The benefits increase as the efficiency of the car increases though, check out Aptera. They say they get 10 miles per kwh, and they have a lot of surface area for panels. Enough that in ideal conditions they say they get 40 miles per day from solar. It is a bit different looking though.
jmiller@lemm.eetoUnited States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•For the first time in history, billionaires have a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans.
14·2 years agoThis is misleading, billionaires have been paying effectively lower taxes for many many years. They just had to be more creative about it before now.

This isn’t a science related meme. I can understand you not being sure where to put it, I haven’t seen a “Racist Memes” community on Lemmy.
