And u have a bridge to sell you! Here, right here in my pocket, but before I show you you gotta pay up!

Seriously, these new battery tech articles are just insane, Google is trying to push at least 5 different ones at me every day in this Google News drawer crap on my phone which, obviously, cannot be uninstalled or even disabled.

It's all scam.

Yes and we all know that, and it is good. I would like to buy one for myself too. EVs are an overall good thing for everyone.

But imagine the implications for PEVs

~~It is a couple tons of armored sofa that takes more space than it needs to, crushes the road, kills deer and human alike.~~

~~Sounds like a car to me.~~

PEV here apparently refers to "Personal Electric Vehicle", which includes e-scooters, e-bikes, etc. They are indeed not cars. DDG somehow tells me they mean "Plugin Electric Vehicle", which are cars.

PEV = personal electric vehicle, like an e-bike, scooter, or unicycle. All the benefits of bike infrastructure while letting you go a lot farther and faster without getting sweaty

Noted. ddg gives me "plug-in electric vehicle" when I search PEV. So I misunderstood. E-bike indeed is not a car.

Hmm, you’re right, looks like it’s commonly used for both. That’s a bit confusing

Anyways, thanks for letting me know!
