Every time I look into it, I’m more convinced that the combustion engine, especially for cars, is already obsolete. Now CATL announced ultra‑fast‑charging batteries with up to 1,000 km of range.

Electric cars are quieter, cleaner, more efficient, cheaper to maintain, have fewer components that wear out, offer more power, and use cheaper fuel -even free if you charge with solar panels. Once the range is there combustion will have no remaining advantage for most uses.

On top, before the world wars there were many electric vehicles. even supermarkets with charging for them. But it all fades as with the wars the combustion engine gets pushed and after the soldiers want what they know.
