The Austrian police tested electric vehicles and came to the conclusion that EVs might be an evolutionary dead end.
And in my post on evolutionary death of the electromobile, I only focused on how it performs in cold weather, and apparently EVs suck big time in cold weather.
The performance issues do not end there. It seems that EVs are totally useless as a police car. The problems center on the battery. The weight is a major problem. And this is why I think EVs will never fully take over. They aren’t good for the police, they aren’t good for the military. The conflict in Ukraine has shown that you need fast moving, manœuvrable, and light vehicles to move troops. You could probably have a hybrid with a small battery because I heard that releases less heat, and would hide the vehicle from thermovision.
Trucks my friends might never be electric, the batteries are already heavy and on top of it you have a heavy load. Delivery services might switch to electric small vehicles. It might even be economically profitable if they set up their own source of electricity. But honestly, a functioning world will have EVs and combustion engines together, and non-fossil production of fuel. There would be hybrids, evs, combustion engines all competing with each other. There is still a place for combustion restrictions in cities and filters in diesel vehicles.
