I too like the idea of zero mass loss propulsion systems. However, like the prior two commenters indicated, we’re just not there yet. Working at the University of Michigan in the engineering department I finally heard a professor (who is working on next generation batteries) admit that EV’s are THE dirtiest form of transportation we have today. When considering trades, we need to consider not just the vehicle, but the whole process of getting the vehicle into the hands of owner/operators and maintaining them. EVs have a niche for short hops with long stops. But don’t forget the infrastructure. Want to go somewhere new, well that won’t work. So the utility drops precipitately. I don’t own oil company stock, but that technology is very mature and we long ago paid for the infrastructure.
So, we need the novice, hobby, and experimental EV people to press on! Investments in power sources too. But, until we can have the utility of a can of gas, taken wherever we go to get us back, it’s internal combustion for the vast majority of us.
