Electricity is ready to go... but batteries are expensive and currently have limited distance capability.
---For the love of GOD if those are the only two limiting factors then it's safe to say the electric car is ready for the market.
How many people bought BetaMax VCR's when the limiting factor was a one hour recording time and a 3500 dollar price tag...IN 1973??
Apparently quite a few, because Sony quickly ramped up production of the two hour Beta II machine at a reduced price WITHIN A YEAR.
I say forty mile electric only capacity is sufficient to satisfy the needs of 80 percent of the workaday commuters in this country, and the tiny 1 liter engine needed to charge the system while en route will combine for a composite MPG of nearly 120, which you can almost DOUBLE if the engine is a diesel.
How much better does it need to get, or are we really flogging ourselves with the scare tactics of the MSM?
I guess we're so well trained and conditioned that we automatically repeat the garbage spewing out the tube without even being prompted now.
Batteries are expensive:
Everything's expensive when it first hits the market.
Range is limited:
It's sufficient now and will only get better.
