Was shocked to see a cyber truck today in Brookings SD.

Home of the national championship football jack rabbits. 

It was ugly as hell and sporting a paper tag from mizzou

I suspect the inductive recharging MIGHT have some application down the road.  I "fantasize" about the notion of single use high speed lanes with EVs positioned nose to tail traveling at 120 mph like a train with inductive charging.
I think that's the ideal end state for autonomous vehicles. Not just that they can all drive safely, but that with intercommunication between vehicles, they can drive so closely positioned as to improve the speed, the road carrying capacity, and then obviously the efficiency due to the drafting effects. 

As we've discussed in the past, I don't particularly have high confidence in inductive charging becoming significantly adopted.

What it's like to ride in a $258k electric sports boat (msn.com)
What it's like to ride in a $258k electric sports boat (msn.com)

Let's unpack.



1. All boats require maintenance. This is a nonsensical statement.

2. Gas engines almost never need to be replaced. I've only seen it done one time in all of my years, and it was done by choice. This is complete and utter bullshit.

3. Most boats are closed cooling, especially the ones used in salt water. In fresh water, it doesn't matter one bit. More bullshit.

4. EFI engines don't flood. More bullshit.

$250K is the biggest barrier for me

Same boat with a gasser would be about $100K.

To claim a gasoline boat engine needs replacement "every few years" is so overtly bizarre as to tear up any point they may be making.

And maybe for $258 K you get a nice boat, are there places to recharge it?

How much does it cost to recharge?

the gas engine needs replacement MUCH less often than the battery for the EB, I'll bet.

Good question, my impression is that rec boats don't put on too many miles, in a year.  A battery might last a much longer time in a boat than in a car.

A boat takes a lot more power to move around, so I'd wonder about range.

not sure about lithium batteries, but lead acid batteries are affected by age, regardless of use.

If you keep it in a slip, you'd likely have power there. But I don't' know anyone who would keep a 23' wake boat in a slip. 

So, at home, I guess?

My HOA doesn't allow boats to be stored on property. Most don't.

Arc website says overnight charge. 

No idea where that happens.

They don't like saltwater.
