41. the battery technology is here?? what technology?
it certainly isnt lead acid or Nimh. Lithium is promising, especially with advances in nanotech but its not "here" yet at the practical level of speed and range, ease of recharging and above all cost that would be required to establish an electric car as a true competitor with gas and hybrid technology. The battery technology will arrive in a few years at a competitive price point but when it does hybrid technology will still beat out pure electric cars. All electric cars will be short range, around town cars for a long time to come and as such will not hold a large percentage of the market. The answer lies in hybrid.
