Yeah, bad visualization for general purpose I'd say. But then again, it depends on what you look for 🤷♂️
Do you have any data how much of those batteries are in fact in use? For example, Slovenia needs something north of 1.5 * 24 GWh energy for a day. And we are 2 mills population. Plus during winter you need to charge them. With short days of like 5 hours of less than ideal sun if no clouds or fog ... good luck. Perhaps eventually we'll get there, but it's really far far away.
Well, we invented emission coupons, didn't we? /s
Storage is nowhere near enough if we want self sustainable green energy. And author should compare winter moths when it comes to solar panels production - worst case. Yes, there is development and each day a breaking new battery tech is announced but until these get produced for real in mass quantities, they are vaporware. Mind that we need storage for like at least a week, better a month of energy worth. And that's a lot of batteries.
Sure, it's not ideal but in the grand scheme it might be the future as it'd change many aspects starting with battery sizes. It might be a failure as well, due to politics and economics, who knows.
Wireless charging: The roads where electric vehicles never need to plug in
I keep fingers crossed for wireless charging built in road 🤷♂️
It does. EVs are much heavier due to battery weight and have more power and torque. Which all results in more tire wear.
Below is the entire e-mail including prices for me (Slovenia)

According to Eurosport e-mail, sports (or just Eurosport, not sure) it's definitely an add on.
Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.
Ha, just yesterday I've found my Asus EEE. Sounds like a good fit for similar exercise.
Who would even want that? /s
