It's about the battery, nerd. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

We'll just do what trains do.

Replace the battery with a massive diesel generator. Run that to get power to the electric motors.

Best of both worlds!

Best of both worlds!

This is a joke, right? Efficiency is atrocious.

Hybrid cars were a topic in germany a few years ago. Laws provided funding for them too (grouped as EVs), despite their huge weight and low efficiency. I think it was solved since then?

The "Best of both worlds!" was the part that should have told you that it was a joke. That and the fact that the statement is purposely ridiculous.
