JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.
So some dude on the Internet says I’m wrong. Guess what? I’m also a dude on the Internet and I say he’s wrong. Checkers!
Yeah but this dude has this thing called common sense, try acquiring that first.
Maybe then you can think about the implications of BE buses more than " cables need to be installed therefore Be is better than trolley"
You might think about stuff like extra weight extra purchase cost, decreased capacity, more expensive road maintenance cost, less uptime due to charging, less efficiency due to weight, decreased range in cold or hot when AC is needed that makes everything worse
Show me a town that recently switched to trolleys and done a cost/benefit analysis after couple of years that confirms they saved money and I will absolutely agree with you.
Why don’t you show me a town that switched from trolleys to BeBs and saved money ?
I don’t have data, you don’t have data. All we know is that lots of cities choose electric/hybrid buses while no cities choose trolleys. If you think it’s because everyone working in the public transport departments is stupid and only some youtuber is super smart that’s fine. I’m sceptical.
