“The big problem is that we're reliant on other local industries to do fabrication for things like battery boxes and motor mounts, and if those companies are busy as well then we're going to be delayed a little bit by that.”For the everyday city driver, though, Mr Hemmingsen said second-hand EVs were the best option.

cost on average 20k to convert older cars to EV

Yep. Sounds good to me. I'm in. How much to convert my ever-reliable 2005 Ford Territory?

Good luck finding a recharging station in 1985.

The term ‘zero emissions’ is a lie.

Literally my dream come true 🤩🙌

Junk then. Junk now. Nice design though.

And parts will be created using? The battery gets lithium and cobalt from? And where does the battery go when it dies? And it’s replaced using? …. There is no such thing as zero emissions…

Zero-emissions... 🤔

Terrible. It won't work in 1985, let alone 1955.

1.21 Gigawatts?

It was fusion powered, 🔋's are a dud.
