Every day it feels like we're getting closer to battery revolution. It really makes you wonder how different the world will be once we have these incredible batteries actually working at consumer level.

Can you imagine not having the constant traffic noise played into your ears like tinnitus, being able to maybe actually breathe the oxygen nature provides. That’s probably gonna be what it will be like. But still, ev are just a stop gap, more privately owned cars isn’t the solution in my humble opinion, it is a start towards it.

About noise, above 30km/h electric cars are as noisy as gas powered one.

It's better but not the panacea either.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Solution: 30km/h speed limit in cities, which is a good idea anyway for safety reasons.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 2 points 11 months ago

Yes, it's better for safety and health reason.

Plus 30km/h is in the speed range of bikes, so it become much more accessible to bike around in the city and more people start to do it.

It’s 30mph not kph. City streets should be limited to 20mph anyway.
