The price of oil is the best argument for the electric car, but even if the movement is underway, many obstacles stand in the way of the development of more virtuous transport ...
1 / Builders reluctantly move forward and do not do what we need but what brings them the most (vehicles too big, too heavy, too expensive and that maintain their rent, including battery rental contracts)
2 / The energy suppliers and the manufacturers lock the energy supply by limiting the power to 10A on a standard outlet for security reasons (I charge my cars in 16A, therefore faster), and offer household charge sockets to more than € 500 which will later allow the invoicing of a tax on electric vehicles.
3 / We still do not have enough perspective on the new batteries and the manufacturers offer us sufficient autonomy but much lower than those announced.
4 / Transport has to face a paradigm shift and a search for maximum efficiency. It is not the traditional manufacturers who will question themselves, they have too much inertia. The change will come from the politicians but the latter are too compromised and must then make decisions that would harm tax revenues ...
