[quote=Anonymous]Teslas opened the way to the mass EV market, so all credit to that company. However, battery technology is still a big hurdle. The batteries pollute, their components cannot be recycled easily. In cold weather, the range of the car decreases because the battery has a shorter usable working charge (diesel also has a problem in cold weather). And if you get water inside, the battery bursts into flames and it's a chemical fire that is very difficult to put out and can last a very long time. As in: not sure I'd be comfortable putting a Tesla in my garage and charging it overnight. There are new developments in battery technology, ones that don't use lithium. We'll have to see where it goes, but for the moment, and despite the terrible environmental impact of fossil fuel vehicles, I'm keeping my old petrol cars. Not sure what I'll buy next... nothing seems good enough.[/quote]
