But seriously -
If the Goodenough Battery lives up to the hype, it's internal combustion engine finis.
The vid is a few years old -
Evidence suggests Goodenough Batteries are Now being used in some applications.
But IF Goodenough's battery proves to be, well ... Good Enough the ICE's days are numbered.
A similar transition time frame from the introduction of Ford's Model T ('08) to "A Nation On Wheels" twenty years later is prob'ly Not unrealistic.
Goodenough's Battery could be as much of a game changer as the ICE was over the horse -
In much the Same way as the Model T ...
It holds the potential to make acquiring & operating a personal vehicle simpler, more affordable ... And a Helluva lot more Cool!
Up until a few years ago, an 80 YO coot from 100 miles north of here, drove his Vincent Black Shadow down to the yearly gathering at the muni Airport. Old timers say he used to have the wifey on back, up until she died under a decade ago.

Still turn heads. I tell the females on dates that the green cherry Mitsu 3000GT 5 speed is a Ferrari. Most act impressed, but really, what do they know?

Basically -
One stops for lunch/battery recharge & by the time lunch is eaten, the vehicle's ready for Another 1,000 miles.
I'm tellin' y'all - This Could be a TOTAL Game Changer.
Will there be antique ICE cars? - I should Imagine.
Just a few years ago, I saw folks out for a drive in an original Stanley Steamer.
It was cool Spring weather & the exhaust steam condensed into a cloud/con trail.
A Helluva sight, lemme tell y'all
