This is done in China, India. elsewhere. No talk of it here in US because the batteries are so heavy. I suppose the #deliveristas are already doing some form of it. What effect would it have on a proposed EV #chargingNetwork in #NYC?

Spent yesterday walking and biking around #Philadelphia. Photos forthcoming. Initial impressions: No #deliveristas. Some bike infra. Will bring personal foldup #bike next time. Easy, cheap, last minute using #SEPTA and #NJTransit.Drivers don't stop for stop signs, but there are many and I prefer over lights. Didn't see a trolley though biked over many trolley tracks. It was a Saturday. Didn't do museums this trip.Did make it to John's and Pier 68 per @rbellinger

Comparing LiFePo4 to Li ion
https://blog.epectec.com/lithium-iron-phosphate-vs-lithium-ion-differences-and-advantages
Energy density for #LiFePo4 is about 55% that of ion. Worst case is twice the weight. Don't know about volume. May not matter to most. It would matter to #deliveristas.

@rbellinger Thinking of the #Deliveristas, what did people do before they existed? I live on the #UpperWestSide and they are everywhere. Every food establishment has at least 6 bikes parked in front.
