Why did it take us so long to get electric vehicles? What are the challenges associated with creating electric vehicles? We explore how batteries work, the geopolitics of oil, and future-proofing transportation. What will the energy profile of a modern car look like? We talk about how electric vehicles are more efficient with their friction. Someday could cars talk to each other?!?
