Heat pumps and induction ranges are two strong examples of products that are better environmentally and better products than their gas/oil competitors, for almost everybody. (EVs will get there, but they’re not there yet.)
Because carbon emissions are free, it’s important that low-emission new products be clearly better than the polluting status quo. It’s a high bar, it’s not fair, but I’m glad we have heat pumps and induction ranges as a model.
@waldoj EVs actually won't get there. They're already obsolete. What we need is smaller, lighter, less powerful vehicles, not bigger, heavier, more powerful ones.
Something much more like #velomobiles is the answer.
I went to @spezialradmesse_spezi specifically for the #velomobiles but was beyond impressed with the variety of ingenious bicycle related products. In a wonderful world of Bosch & Bafang I found the @pendix_edrive to be an elegant & super easy to install option for electrifying just about ANY bike or velomobile
