Prices of the electricity we use to charge

[flecc]

it has never been about saving money or the planet it is the other way round for control and more profit and tax.

Some truth in that.

Smoke Control Areas dictate how much smoke is allowed to be emitted from your chimney.

Not really a 21st century worry, it's over eighty years since I last lived in a building with a chimney.

i have a electric bong and windows

tho the council removed the bottom part of the chimney years ago to make the kitchen bigger and used a rsj the support the rest.

and this year they removed the top part so still have the bit in the middle and rsj supporting it

so see what they value it at next Friday and nick it with my 56% discount

I didn't criticize it. Indeed it is already thought of as the best future solution for national distribution. But it's probably about 40 years away for the first motorway example in Britain.

New batteries charge in 5-10 minutes even now. We are years behind Chinese companies.

2017 to present

In June 2017, Lockheed Martin announced that the SR-72 would be in development by the early 2020s

i can fly that

But to tow a full trailer up to 300 miles with an E-tractor unit demands a very large weight in batteries, deducting from the payload.

A better future would surely be to greatly reduce all this grossly excessive worldwide excessive goods transport and personal travel and develop smaller scale local robotically aided production of as much of our needs as possible. Including all our foods, in artificial environments where necessary for the exotica.

Progress in batteries are just astonishing. European car manufacturers are still using NMC chemistry because of its high energy density. Chinese manufacturers use high density LFP at less than half the price and charge 5 times faster. Their LFP now reaching the same density as NMC. In 2025, they will bring out cars with semi solid state batteries, with even higher density than NMC and up to 10 times charging speed of NMC and a lot safer than NMC. They will sell cars with 100kwh-110kwh batteries while we still make cars with less than 70kwh batteries.

Is their LFP available on the open market in any way accessible to us?

And do you have any 'read all about it' sources to get us up to date?

I feel I am behind the times!

Currently available only in specialised formats for EVs and grids. In 10 years, lithium won't be needed, sodium batteries will become dominant. Recently, I have seen yt video about fast home based high power dc charging kit that can charge your electric car in minutes instead of hours. The system is reversible. If you have plenty of solar or wind, you may never need to pay for your electricity. Batteries that are guaranteed for the lifetime of cars will become normal.
