Not their production, not with currently available batteries.
However, the outlook in battery research is two split. Every couple of months a new breakthorugh gets claimed, swinc eyears, and then doe snot maeīterialise, often for even frauduklent background reasons. In this light it has to be taken with care that sdeverla new battery technologies are hinted at that should allow mucz greater storage and faster charging, while not using Lithium, but silicium, and other quite ordinary materials.
The high energy demand for producing the cars, and namely aluminium and steel, will remain. And that use of small quanities of toxic, critical ingredient sprobbaly will stay as well. These will be needed to learn recycling them better.
Which makes thes ecars even more expensive to buy in the next future, I predict. All that research has to be paid for. Too push premature mass production of an outīdated tehcnology of highly quesiutonable perspective today, imo is irresponsible, and a waste of money.
The instability of the powergrid is not due to privatiozation, but due to insufficient base supply levels by prducers of renewables. Wind and sun in German are mutually exclusive for the most: the mroe sun you have over the day, less wind, and vice versa. The socalled "Netzauslastungsreserve" moe and more often had to be called up and could not compensate for the3 deficitary energy production in Germany, so additional power contigents had to be bought from neighbouring nations. This is necessary becasue there could be seriosu damages to the gridworek infrastructre if certain min imum power levels due to lacking supply or too high demand do not get met. n this case powerplants able to be switched on and off fast without needing days opr weeks to prepare them, are needed. And even these the Greens and the climate activists want to get rid off. Germany is wanting to deindustrialise itself. We shall be a happy green place of hobbits. And please, no dragons for pets.
There is some website in German that lists day by day the exact numbers on how and how much power gets produced, day by day, and descrbing the weather. When I first found it, it was quite revealing. Collapse with pre.announcement. I see if I find it again.
This is becoming dangerous. The impoort of power from "dirty2 and unwanted sources like nucear bocks and dirty coal power plants, has climbed over the past years. The German envruionmentalism- paradoxically leads to a growth in these sources in other countries. Also, the specific mechnaism of the legal and the subvention scheme in German reversed the usual link between production and costs: that the more mass production of something there is, the cheaper the individual item or quantity gets. The more renewable energy gets produced in germany - the more expensive it gets priced. That is absurd, a perverting of elemental market principles. Well, planned-economy illusions,. nuff said. They cannot even master building an airport anymore. But they plan the future of the world...?
