Astrophage-Powered EVs: Theoretical Range If a Fictional Fuel Were Real
TL;DR Summary
The piece uses astrophage, a fictional, ultra-dense energy source from Project Hail Mary, to speculate how far an EV could drive, estimating energy densities and a replacement battery with astrophage cells; it concludes that, in theory, ranges could be enormous, but emphasizes it's a playful thought experiment about fictional tech with safety and military considerations.
