Road and Track article on EV battery shortage for future
-
Interesting article from Road & Track. At one point, the author highlights the notion of producing EV’s with smaller battery packs with shorter ranges (i.e. 250 miles vs. 400+) as a way to address the financial and environmental costs of large EV battery packs.
Of course, Aptera is way ahead by designing a more efficient EV that enables longer range with a pack much smaller than EV’s from traditional manufacturers.

BEVs need to get environmental credit for NOT needing the platinum/palladium/rhodium of ICE car catalytic converters. Half to three-quarters of these metals go into catalytic converters.
