New Rules for EVs, sell EVs or dont sell cars, is as much a way to save ICE car makers from themselves, as it is to save the world.
(ICE - Internal combustion, carbon burners)
EV cars are coming, and they have long range, fast charging and lower prices.
This 800km range EV, the "007" by Zeekr, has 50,000 per-orders at 29,000 US$

EVs use Lithium Ion batteries almost everywhere. The first EV with a new system, came off the assembly line yesterday.
Yesterday. Literally.
"First sodium-ion battery-powered EV rolls out"
"Volkswagen-backed EV maker rolls out first sodium-ion battery powered electric car"
Volkswagen invested 1 billion euros for a 50% stake in JAC Group in 2021.
Different profile from LiOn batteries - charges really fast, lower range, great in cold weather.
@kevinrns does it explode and catch on fire less or more than lithium ion batteries?
Because I'll tell you right now. I would never ever keep a lithium ion electric vehicle inside of a garage. Keep that thing outside on your driveway! (preferably a decent distance from your house to minimize fire spread risk)
