    Lithium polymer batteries that make advanced computing portable. We wouldn’t be able to create multi function cell phones without the battery power and longevity of those batteries. Star trek tricorders are going to be the next big tech coming to the generation after Gen z.

        You’re thinking of their com badge, the tricorder was the thing they flipped open to analyse a rock or reverse the polarity of a time crystal. It could do basic medical work, interface with electronics, detect life forms, determine if plants are edible, all sorts

          I wish you people would actually do a comparison between ICE engine explosions vs. EV explosions.

          Guess what? Firefighters can actually put out ICE vehicles, but they still haven’t figured out a solid way of putting out EV batteries.

          Guess what? When ICE vehicles explode, more often than not they’re already running and there’s some electrical short or something. EV will just as soon explode in your garage while you’re sleeping.

          Guess what? Studies show that since EV’s are way heavier, they wear through tires way faster? Did you know it takes approximately one barrel of crude oil to make an average car tire?

          Guess what? Autonomous vehicles seem to have a habit of getting confused around emergency vehicles and causing wrecks, into the very vehicles meant to save people from accidents.

          Guess what? Lithium ion batteries are typically rated for a max safe temperature of around 40⁰C, while the pavement the battery sits right over can be over 80⁰C

          I’m too lazy to look up links, you’re smart, go Google these things or whatever. All these facts check out.
