Battery based electric vehicles of today and tomorrow.

InsideEVs | Electric Vehicle News, Reviews, and Reports

While I fully understand some of you claim you already own the last vehicle you will own in your lifetime and understand that could be the case with me as well but I hope not.

Our kids are 22 and this site excites me about what their next vehicle may be like. EV battery and charger news excites me because that is the weak link of EV future success today in my view.

Potential Impact Of California's Ban On Per-Minute Billing For Charging

I can see this law change. With our EV the same about of charge during a session can range from $7 to $14 just depending just on the battery pack temperature. Not sure it will move to other states but CA is the home of EV's and their usage in the USA at least.

I saw the following and it made me think of this thread. These 6 Incredible Discoveries From The Past Decade Have Changed Science Forever

One is: "doctors had three main weapons to fight cancer: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation. The 2010s saw the rise of a fourth: immunotherapy, leveraging the body's own immune system to target tumor cells. One of the most advanced techniques ... a patient's T-cells - part of their immune system - are collected from their blood, modified and reinfused into the body." No mention that results might be limited by the periodic table.

By that line of reasoning. Bananas are coloured green, yellow or black because of ocean tides.

And your still driving on natural rubber tires using coal oil lanterns for illumination?

Florida Tech to study pumping ocean water in and out of Banana River

Buick your understanding of tidal effects connection with banana health is mind boggling. Where did you study science that is so unlike what most of us where taught?

Glad to see your interest in electric vehicles is increasing. I predict you will own a Tesla before the end of 2021 or 2022 based on your current EV interest of today.

Emissions-free energy system saves heat from the summer sun for winter -- ScienceDaily

""The energy in this isomer can now be stored for up to 18 years. And when we come to extract the energy and use it, we get a warmth increase which is greater than we dared hope for," says the leader of the research team, Kasper Moth-Poulsen, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering."

I know vision is psychological and not physiological so my old brain must to have converted 18 years into 18 months because it could not believe 18 years.

Years ago I came to understand today's science fiction often becomes tomorrow's reality.

Elon Musk is proving his vision for earth and space travel can be realized as time marches forward.

Thanks again for bringing this MOST concept to this page.

Yesterday痴 Science Fiction is reality today only when the device is possible , practical and affordable .
Where are your flying cars ?

They are parked underground to protect them from solar flares. That is why you never see them.

Where are your flying cars ?

Waiting for several essential aspects that will eventually evolve. One is collision avoidance capability that is at the infancy stage presently but evolving - see Tesla and others. Because one limitation on flying cars is the present need of every aircraft to have a big safety cushion of a lot of airspace around it.

Dick Tracy's wrist radio of the 1930's was unimaginable when vacuum tubes were needed in radios ... Then things changed. Evolution of technology will make possible a lot of what the old science fiction writers described, and they knew this as they wrote those old works. 150 years ago, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea was imaginative science fiction. Now we have nuclear submarines. Automobiles too!

At the time that Jules Verne wrote that, there were Americans who felt that our technology had reached its peak. They chose to ignore subsequent improvements. They're still around. Amish and Mennonite.

The 20,000 Leagues under the Sea submarine was originally powered by batteries . The movie re-wrote the power source decades later.
There is not a power storage medium nor power plant that is light enough, compact enough , cheap enough or reliable enough to operate a Jetson's practical flying car.
Where is your next tech past solid state ?
Believing and hoping is fine but your can not wish the impossible into existence . The sound barrier restricts almost all aircraft almost all of the time to subsonic velocity. Do you believe there is some method yet to be developed that allow Piper Cubs to sustain Mach II.

I see the Navy filed for a patent on anti-gravity device

and did In Fact receive it...

Mmm looks like the Navy was worried the Chinese might beat them to it and filed first.

US1144532B2 - Craft using an inertial mass reduction device
- Google Patents


US Navy patents anti-gravity aircraft which looks like an alien UFO | Metro News



gravity wave tech ?..? LIGO made some news concerning the waves recently.

Invention Secrecy Act... 5000+ patents the DOD has locked down

Who Knows what impact some of those patents could have made on our tech future.

Toyota invests $394 million in Joby Aviation's flying taxis

Joby Aviation has touted its piloted, all-electric five-seater flying vehicle will be capable of reaching speeds of 200 miles per hour, flying over 150 miles on a single charge, vertical take-off and landing

The design follows in the footsteps of Uber and Hyundai's flying taxi that was revealed recently at CES 2020.

Mid-last year, Uber announced that Melbourne was going to be the third pilot city
