@kchangnyt@MissionC2@nytimes What's wrong with an electric SUV, minivan, or pickup?
@Robotbeat @MissionC2 @nytimes Too heavy, no range. Energy density of Li-ion is too low, can't scale to large vehicles. Physics, not $$

@kchangnyt@MissionC2@nytimes I am a physicist, I know physics. If vehicles can burn gasoline or diesel, then they can be battery powered. -
@Robotbeat@MissionC2@nytimes Show me the math. How many 1000s of pounds of batteries, how efficient pushing that weight? - 7 more replies

@kchangnyt@MissionC2@nytimes In fact, most popular DIY electrics were S-10 pickups because it's heavy vehicle & can handle lead batteries. -
@Robotbeat@MissionC2@nytimes Range? 35 to 45 miles. Which is fine for a small # of people. - 1 more reply

@kchangnyt@MissionC2@nytimes Energy density is plenty hi enough, Li-ion for tesla is 230Whr/kg, but some have demonstrated 300Whr/kg LiIonThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
