I couldn't agree more, but what about battery technology? And mileage, and quick recharging stations; and how much coal will have to be burned to recharge? "Nobody" wants nuclear power plants , which is kinda silly.

I like one guy's idea - a little tiny 3 cylinder, 2-stroke diesel running at constant RPM (like a little turbine) and turning a generator, to maintain the charge in a battery bank, with everything built into the vehicle.

IMO, that looks like the most viable for the next few years.

Opinions?
