Why can’t this work:
NASA uses plutonium-238 to generate electricity for satellites in its deep space missions. Using this general approach, can a car battery be continuously charged and that battery used to power a car? Sure, new tech would have to be developed, but is this idea impossible?

The idea is the same as an EV, with the plutonium continuously charging a super battery that runs the car.
You’re right - the cost has to come down. That happened during the PC development, and we need similar tech geniuses for this.
Plutonium-238 can’t be made into a bomb, but any radioactive material is decently dangerous. Where are those tech geniuses?
Got a better idea? The climate won’t wait.

Remove individual cars from the populace reform society so that those car’s aren’t need.
