It takes five minutes to replenish tanks of compressed gas, versus at least 40 minutes to top up a modern electric car. 22adng https://padlet.com/22gaitel/ESRTIN1/wish/1936464876 https://www.sciencefocus.com/future-technology/how-environmentally-friendly-are-electric-cars/]]> 2021-12-08 17:48:19 UTC https://padlet.com/22gaitel/ESRTIN1/wish/1936464876 Why electric cars will take over sooner than you think 22gaitel https://padlet.com/22gaitel/ESRTIN1/wish/1936465617 https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57253947
