Anyone who has been to Oslo understands EVs are a huge benefit for urban air quality.
With scrap batteries being worth 5-50 cents per pound it would be worth just sticking a handful of these, but labeled as "used battery drop off point" in high visibility areas. It won't stop people from maliciously throwing away batteries but would remove the lazy factor.
That's to say nothing of how all the oil fields we've tapped are the easy to get ones, and the deep sea holds a ton of oil.
This also does a great job of catching data leaks or willful sale of client and customer data.
This is to say nothing in regards to the leagues of sleep research that clearly state you should not be eating before bed, especially this sugar bomb garbage.
The Ford Products are promising but have been majorly hamstrung by dealers asking for astronimal markups. I had a Polestar as a rental car and it was great, and the BMW and Mercedes EVs are wonderful too. BUT they're all stuck with a very unreliable charging network and dealers are awful middlemen for now.
I am by no means a Tesla fanboy, and Tesla has its own faults, specifically around build quality on the Model 3 (though the S/X are quite nice.) But it's a better EV in every way.
