Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Many people I know actually are back on fossil fuel cars, just because no one has the time to wait for hours till they're loaded again, sadly there's no battery quick change system around. And till then, I haven't got the time either. That's just the reality, I cannot afford to lose any more customers just because we're not there on time.
Don't know why it should be so downvoted - the problem is real. Battery swaps, if properly implemented, could be an amazing solution. Or we have to better figure out fuel cell technology to improve conversion efficiency.
I understand the general policy is "it's a worthy sacrifice", but many people just really won't be able to accept such drawback, either due to packed schedule combined with requirement for personal transportation or yes, simply because it's heavily inconvenient.
