THIS is how you . And hopefully the project is tied in with the local power utility so drivers can just pay the local utility or locals could just pay their regular light bills instead of inflated rates from battery charge stations.

Batteries in EVs are a stop-gap measure at best. They are RIDICULOUSLY heavy and expensive. With this solution, vehicles could carry much smaller batteries, driving costs down.

Someone told me they bought a plug-in hybrid because they drive to Galveston regularly, from Dallas. And that there aren't any fast chargers in Galveston, so they had to buy a hybrid.
That can't be right, can it? No fast chargers at all? In all of Galveston?

Calling your foray into #electricvehicles the "Prologue" seems to transmit to customers they should wait and buy the later Honda "The Story."

Bad news: The 22KW car chargers around here often fail when I plug in my Zoe.

Good news: about 50% of the time they fail into "free vend".

I've just got 30KWh for free :)

Nissan says it will make next-generation EV batteries by early 2029

> #Japan's legacy automakers have fallen behind newer rivals like America's Tesla and China's BYD in the emerging all-electric auto sector.

> But #Nissan, like other companies, sees a chance to catch up and perhaps leap ahead with a new kind of battery that promises to be more powerful, cheaper, safer and faster to charge than the lithium-ion #batteries in use today.
