I think longer distances and low rate of electrification. IC is extremely efficient at carrying energy, it's very dense. Still denser than battery technology.

100%… and the source of this electricity would almost certainly have been combustion too unless they were plugging directly into a damn
(I regret not editing the text before passing on)
EV’s aren’t new, battery development never stopped… much smaller batteries evolved for lower energy use cases like ignition
What blows my mind is it’s just taken us a hundred years to build car batteries good enough for 15 minute cities and kids working in cobalt mines
p.s. thanks for making me think 👌
