gollark: So it might make more sense to just have a rentable pool of short-range (~100 mile battery) electric cars in cities, which should cover a lot of use/

gollark: I feel like electric car batteries may sort of be being approached from the wrong angle, because the majority of car journeys are probably only... 40 miles, at most? Lots of people use cars for short commutes.

gollark: Just beam power down to your car via orbital laser.

gollark: I've read about so many of them, but I don't think any have actually hit production.

gollark: It says "bad gateway".
