wow lectra didnt know that! any more history on this ahead of their time and Elon Musk company?
What people forget about fuel vs powerlines (even with reduced efficiency over long distances) is transportation costs and fuel processing vs battery production etc
Gasoline doesn't magically appear at a gas station there is massive carbon produced to get it to the pump, transport the oil via trucks or boats, refining oil to gasoline, and the transportation (using a truck) of gasoline to a station?
For transportation electricity flows over existing electrical infrastructure or a wire which produces little to no carbon by now in established networks.
Also not forgetting the oversized truck drivers wages and their health needs from spending so many hours sitting down, sleep deprived, eating junk food, the production of trucks to haul the subsidized fuel, their maintenance, the space they take up on the roads and the victims of tired, careless, stressed drivers in accidents.
Pity Lectra is not competing today as it could have stored batteries in those pesky blocky bumpers :)
