Guess he doesn't also believe in PTSD or Shell Shock or Battle Fatigue.
Those pussies.
I do believe in those. However those conditions are way over diagnosed IMO much as ADHD / ADD.

Your medical degree is from where?
I wasn't aware of that price drop. It's very good news. But we still need a battery with higher energy density than lithium ion. The cheaper batteries will make electric cars cheaper, but they won't extend their range. With this price drop, it will also make it tougher for superior battery technologies to enter the market.
I don't have nor believe in "panic attacks".
I would prefer the common terms that they are afraid and nervous. Call it whatever you like.
You are astoundingly ignorant, and base your expressed policies off ignorant beliefs. You are Trumpism actualized.I do believe in those. However those conditions are way over diagnosed IMO much as ADHD / ADD.
Sure but then why mention it? What was your point or did you not have one?I only quoted him. His defense is all his.

Ranges on existing lithium technology are more than sufficient for the overwhelming majority of trips. Everybody thinks they must have a vehicle that will go 500 miles on a change when every trip they take on a routine basis is more like 20-30 miles at most. Even a cost effective PHEV with a 50 mile electric range would burn an astonishingly small amount of fuel over its lifetime in regular use.
Also increasingly lithium ion batteries are entering the grid as prices have dropped. That's an application that doesn't need crazy high energy density to work well. It could use even lower prices to expand though.
If they're superior they'll make their way to the market where their superiority will let them command premium pricing. They'll go in Ferraris, Rolls Royces, and similar. Heck even the cell phone market might enable it. The aviation market is looking to electrify more as well (and so were already looking at alternatives to lithium ion). Military for drones (and subs, and plenty of other uses). Commercial shipping. Those quadrocopter taxis, and delivery services (like Amazon's) would want lighter more dense energy storage.
Point being there's a lot of demand that would be seeking that type of stuff, so I doubt falling lithium ion battery prices is going to prevent that battery tech from the market. Plus growing overall demand for electrification will push for the infrastructure to support it which pushes us in general towards electrification. There's a lot of research into getting beyond lithium ion too because its just too volatile, too costly (still), and relies on too much rare earth minerals (cobalt). Quite a bit of those superior battery technologies should be cheaper than lithium ion once they mature.
They say that no gives a flying fuck what you believe, as your beliefs have no effect over whether something is real or not.I do believe in those. However those conditions are way over diagnosed IMO much as ADHD / ADD.
I'm sure they won't, basically all manufacturers have insisted on continuing to make things smaller, rather than maintain size and increase battery life.Yes that is all true. But the lower prices will significantly delay widespread use of the new technologies.
I do hope they adopt denser batteries soon for mobile computing devices. An Apple Watch with a denser battery would be nice. A great piece of hardware currently hamstrung by short battery life.
Yes I agree with your reasoning on vehicle range, but I think having ranges like 200 miles or less is an impediment to the adoption of electrics cars because when consumers are considering a car purchase, they see the range limitation and think, what happens when I decide to take a long car trip, like a family vacation? I suppose if the whole nation had widespread charging stations like we're getting now in CA, it wouldn't matter as much. That is another piece of infrastructure we need to put in place.
If you keep at least one PHEV in the family vehicle mix then family trips should be no problem.
Most people would be able to charge at home, even off regular 110v. Multi-unit buildings are a bit tricker but the infrastructure is largely there after all it's not like you've got to lay gasoline pipeline from the refinery to your apartment building. Electricity is already on site.

True, assuming you can afford more than one car. Lower income people tend to own only one.
I have a client who was telling me about his plug-in hybrid. Among other things, he says he charges it at home every night and his power bill only went up by about $5 per month. With gas approaching $4 per gallon, I'll sign up for that once they can get these cars below $30K.

I think we already know which, and it is a surprise to no one... I guess maybe the extent of it had previously not been known, and we still may not have hit bottom.https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/panic-attacks/symptoms-causes/syc-20376021
Either the Mayo Clinic is now publishing bogus info or he is extremely ignorant.

...you "don't believe" in panic attacks?
lol, really?
what else don't you believe in? strokes? cancer? urinating? oxygen?
