They are mostly made out of carbohydrates… what happens with all of the tyre? A small fraction is recycled because it is energy intensive. How many tyres are changed per year?
Just think from base principles. EVs are a lot hevier because energy density per kg of battery is less than that of wood. Heavier vehicles = more energy used to change speed and direction.
And raising the average weight of a vehicle by one third does what to depreciation of roads? Ever seen what a poorly maintained bus lane looks like?
So many things in a complex system that it is impossible to say if it is better or worse. What I do know is that they are more expensive than ICE vehicles even with massive subsidies.
They are fun toys and have interesting applications in car sharing in cities which is not possible with petrol cars.

False. Petrol is kinetic energy stored chemmically while with electric cars you first have to convert that kinetic energy into electricity and then back into kinetic. An additional conversion brings more inneficciencies, and that is before counting in the 50% weight gains because batteries are heavy as fuck. This brings more load on the tyres, they need to be replaced more often, as well as the roads themselves.
Electric cars have been around before ICU cars and its always just one battery breakthrough away. If electric cars were so great, they would not need subsidies.

Indeed, just listened to Adam explaining it to Marty today.

Any future plans of including boosts/streams? Seems inconvinient to have to go through this when I can simply boost from the same app I am listening from.

Far away still, sorry. They only managed to prove a hypothesis, frankly.

What is better? Listening to podcasts at 2x speed but focusing 100% on it or listening on 1x but multitasking, aka not focusing on anything at all. I’m torn.

Use bluetooth headset, leave the phone on the desk, and fry my brain or use a wired headset, phone in pocket, and fry my balls 🤔
