    Too bad that's not actually what that means.

    There's other enterprise applications for large rechargeable batteries
    other than just automobiles.

    Provisioning stationary power for banking peak generation from solar &
    wind are but one example...

    ...plus there's been work to employ old EV car batteries instead of new batteries as a means to "recycle" them through lifespan extension into
    an application where the power/weight ratio isn't relevant.

    Trump's going to order them to make big block 600 cdi engines with
    carburetors just like they did back in the good old days of the great depression.
