Iirc graphene production requires some of the most advanced lab tech on the planet. Some years away from much beyond experimental quantities.
I was reading about this just this morning; wildly technical at the moment, mass production is a way off

But it’s zero emissions at point of use and that is all that’s important :rolleyes:

A new problem the elctrickery generation (see what I did there...:rolleyes:) will have to deal with - vehicle not charging despite being plugged in and all the correct buttons being pressed.

When I fill up with motion lotion it's clear I've filled it up, it's not quite as easy to tell with electrons as they don't always do what they're supposed to do. Plug it in, press the buttons, go for java, come back, still empty :(

At least they won't have to deal with putting in the wrong type of electrons...:)

We could also offer a service to empty the old electrons out and put in fresh high performance ones, disposing of the low electronegativity ones in an environmentally friendly way :)
