Pretty easy for something to "double" as a giant battery when it has a giant battery in it

They also double as buses.

Though it’s a car cry from perfect grid storage, as the vehicle isn’t connected during the morning and most of the evening spikes, and ideally needs to recharge overnight to be ready for the morning route so it can’t discharge at the time when grid storage is needed most in a place with plentiful solar.

Not to mention the amount of carnage and pollution created to build these monstrosities.

Is no one aware of the amount of populations being killed due to the extraction of metals requires to build these batteries?

Biodiesel would be a FAR GREENER alternative to this nonsense.
