Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

That depends on WHO is in charge of their design and application.

If they're DESIGNED to help the transition from 'too much travel' to 'appropriate travel', then they can do that.

But if it's a pro/anti FIGHT, then the major LOSER will be the planet that sustains us all...

@Pneumofoils @BrentToderian I see a picture of the 200.000 euro Lightyear of which maybe a 1000 will be build, in the same factory where the #Sion might not be build. That could be a affordable solar EV for the masses, but they are fighting for survival with a crowd funding campaign to make it to production. #SaveSion
This is new industry, a new company, with a new vision on mobility. We need more bikes, more affordable public transport and we need the #Sion too.

Sono Motors will integrate its solar technology exclusively into third-party vehicles. However, the Sion program will be terminated.

You make a good point

- useful electric cars are STRUGGLING in the face of a powerful lobby offering 'more conventional' technology that won't help to solve the problem.

But I remember the 1980s, when Wind was an obvious answer

(and in the UK, Wave even more so...)

but Nuclear was getting all the attention (and 97% of the Fossil Fuel Levy funding for new tech development...).

The development didn't take 4 decades to get where we are now

- but the STRUGGLE did...!
