blog post, writing that "better and cheaper batteries ... will hopefully make EVs a realistic option for every car owner."
But he cast doubt on whether current or even future battery tech could ramp up to power larger vehicles. Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, wrote: "Even with big breakthroughs in battery technology, electric vehicles will probably never be a practical solution for things like 18-wheelers, cargo ships, and passenger jets. Electricity works when you need to cover short distances, but we need a different solution for heavy, long-haul vehicles."Gates continued that alternative fuels such as biofuels or electrofuels could be better, greener way to power bigger vehicles like trucks.
Gates also praised several vehicle makers for producing all-electric pickup trucks, such as GM, Ford, Rivian, and Bollinger, but failed to mention Tesla, the maker of theMusk's firm also happens to be working on an electric truck. The Tesla Semi was unveiled in 2017 and was slated to be shipped to customers in 2019. But the vehicle is two years behind schedule, with Tesla now expecting to get the vehicle to owners in 2021.
Who’s clueless about the real harm of Merican cube sat ionosphere networks?
Business Insider is clueless about business, and is anti-Trump propaganda outfit
The tech Gates wants exists, but Gates is unreachable.
SAI Well so Bill to know that he is not an expert on everything
Could this cause investor sentiment when the nyse market opens tomorrow? After all $nkla & $gm pose a lil threat for $tsla
I will defend Bill Gates, he’s the worlds greatest lucky 🍀 Coat Tail
I didn't rally see where he 'blasted' him. He texted, 'he has no clue'. I guess that's a blast to some, but to me that's just a comment.
Mutual DISTRACTIONs from REALLY DEVASTATING ISSUES! For details FOLLOW my CRIMINAL COMPLAINT against CHILD ABBUSE organised by GOVERNMENTS & EMPLOYERS ICC in Den Hague WICH is BEING PREVENTED BY ALL MEANS BEZOS ZUCKERBERG BRANSON MUSK GATES etc
So is Elon judging from the ugliest truck ever invented that he put out.
Exactly what has Musk invented? Nothing. Battery is LOW tech. And the rocket Musk is promoting is also LOW tech compared space shuttle. Gates wrote the OS system.
SAI Not sure Gates would worry about a Musk comment about electric trucks as he bigger global issues to heart. Just a typical Musk move.
He knows a lot about fake vaccine for Africans.
It’d be sad to see the Ephaptic coupling effect plays out in human societies. I actually agree with Gates to encourage a variety of energy solutions to strive and coexist. The world shouldn’t rely on only one practical solution.
The fact that you can sell the power in your battery to optimize the grid is what Gates isn't considering. Dude is still thinking about moving stuff A to B.
Just like elonmusk then
