This is the way until batteries get better or they start installing wireless charging under the highways.

Switching to lithium batteries means a dependence on China for energy. I feel like I see a microcosm in my vape batteries. They only take so many charges, their performance constantly decreases, they take forever to charge. And with China still locked down, getting them at all seems iffy.

I feel like maybe we need to look closer at who wanted this energy policy and who received money from China. McCarthy style.

The US Army is developing or has developed a large solid state battery.
