Europe modified their 2035 end of gasoline engines a bit.

It's not killing the narrative, it's reality, modifying the trajectory.

I had the same takeaway. His rant was a bit too extreme.

Do you know what Ford is doing with their batteries for the EVs? I'll give you three guesses, but I'll bet you only need 1.

I think I read that they were building energy storage batteries? A good business right now, honestly.

They're repurposing those batteries for data centers.

They will do some consumer level ones, but mostly, they'll be heading to assist with AI.

Well, energy storage is what batteries do...

I meant to ask for their specific usage. I'll give you half credit!

Eh, I'll take it I thought may it was data center-centric. That's the easiest, gets them online more easily.

I was surprised to hear they're going to send some the consumer way. Imagine having a battery backup under your desk that was originally going to be in an F150.
