In Europe it was mostly done because rich people would transfer huge sums of cash to tax havens (Luxemburg and Switzerland due banking secrecy back than) so they could hide their wealth from the tax offices. So they limited the maximum amount you could travel across borders with.
They only thing I learned is that man’s best friend will solve all issues. We truelly do not deserve them.
I looked it up and a gallon is 3,785 Liters. In France gazoil is 2.3€ in the Netherlands 2.6€ for example. The Eu average I can find is 2.115€ for gazoil and 1.880€ for SP95. So on average for the EU it is 8.01€ per gallon and 7,12€.
So than convert it to Dollars. Some countries (NL, DE, DK) are even aproaching the 10€ the gallon which is nealy 12$ the gallon.
We are currently dealing with 10 dollars the gallon in Europe so you have a little bit still to go. I can’t imagine the mess this is making in countries that do not have the US or EU purchasing power.
Than my information was out of date because the in formation I had sodium was around 140w an lithium around 250w so not half but a large gap. But with the range anxiety most people already have I wonder if 30% less available power will be acceptable for them. And as I said before solid state Lithium should be a massive change and allow electric cars to rival diesel for range.
In the search tab in the mastodon app you can just look for # or names of things you find interesting.
Aren’t most instances connected and can’t you search all those instances for accounts you’d want to follow?
Sodium is absolutely less of a fire risk which is good and is made of less rare earth minerals which is also a bonus.
The major downside is the energy density. If I am not mistaken it is about half of current litium ion batteries. Which would result in a halving of range for the same weight.
On top of that, if they ever get them into production, the solid state Lithium ion batteries are not only more energy dense than current batteries, they are also safer due to the lack of flammable liquid electrolites.
In conclusion with what I know, I doubt most cars will use sodium ion batteries. I would see them as great home batteries for solar installations. And maybe batteries for farm equipement or construction vehicles although the weight might become an issue.
One of us, one of us, one of us.

It might be stupid by why does an employer have a say whether or not his employees unionize?
Doesn’t Switzerland have a really high rate of suicide by firearm?
