Key insights
- Driving with electric cars is challenging due to hard disc brakes and power supply limitations.
- The electric power supply is around 40 GB, which is needed primarily on weekends.
- Dust-sauvering devices are affected by power supply issues, with some already slightly melted.
- The European stream-sauvering is ready, but there are concerns about device compatibility.
- Networks are designed to handle power demands, but costs increase if not managed properly.
- Electric cars are seen as part of the solution to power supply issues, not the problem.
Perspectives
