We need to switch to EVs to protect the environment
But also no efforts to keep vehicles from getting bigger and heavier, which not only uses more resources (in construction and during use) but also increases danger to pedestrians and cyclists.
If we switch to painting the entire bodywork in cheap recyclable low-light efficient photovoltaic paint made from carbon buckyballs and nanotubules, and photovoltaic dyes in the windows… and hemp sourced graphene capacitor bank batteries, EVs could help protect the environment, yup.
… And likely help protect pedestrians and cyclists too… certainly far more than the high-mass high-inertia high-hood high-glare low-visibility SUV tanks going around.
I hear the Easter Bunny drives one of these. Aptera deliveries have been imminent since 2009 but you have to believe in elves and fairies if you think that small area of solar cells will charge that motorcycle (it’s not a car).
We need simple laws restricting vehicle weights. The hummer EV is 10000 lbs and wastes most of it charge just carrying around a stupidly large 3000lb battery pack. In a rear end collision, the car in front, and the car in front of that are all dead.

What kind of EVs?
The Aptera?

Peter Perkins’ Solar Powered Van?
