Electric travel

I don't know if it was just me but I thought that electric cars would be cheaper than fuel cars.

I mean, there is no cooling system, no clutch, no device to turn fuel into an aerosol spray, no spark plugs no exhaust pipe, no fuel pump, no fan...

You get the idea.

The engine of an electric car is just an electric motor and batteries, that's it.

I guess it is the batteries that make it expensive because they use lithium, one of the strangest metals that I know of.. Lithium floats on water and also burns up when it touches water, yet it is a metal. A rare metal that is expensive and hard to work with.

If a better and cheaper battery system is invented then the world will change very quickly, cheap electric cars will become normal.
