@CppGuy One word: #Tetraetyllead

• But fear not, when a #BEV's battery has a #ThermalRunoff (cuz they use shitty #LiCo ( #LiPo / #LiIon) and not #LiFePO4) they'll release a white cloud of #FluoricAcid #vapours and then start a #MetalFire that is basically "unextinguishable" (as in the only proven strategy is to throw dry sandbags in it and hope it glasses itself like the #ElephantsFoot from #Chornobyl...

IMHO it'll be inevitable that #Methanol #FuelCell-based #EV|s will be the future simply because:
1.#Lithium is scarce & expensive
2.#refueling will always be faster than #charging
3.#EnergyDensity of Methanol exceeds that of any #battery
4.#FussilFuel #Corporations can simply switchover pumps and flex their #EconomyOfScale and existing #Logistics to flood the market with cheap Methanol even if it has to be made 100% sustainable and without any fossil resources.
5.#EnergyStorage is another problem and #FuelCells can replace both #EmergencyPower systems running if #Diesel as well as the average #gasoline #generator.

Not to mention there needs to be #SystemChangeNotClimateChange and that necessitates way better #PublicTransport, regardless if #Trains, #Trams, #Trolleybuses or #FuelcellBuses (in that order)...

• Otherwise shit won't change.

OFC what any #BEVs won't fix is the fact that most particle emissions are #tire #brake #dust...

• And those are inherebtly unavoidable.unless we want to sacrifice #RoadSafety!

You have to live in Derby to know.
