And you will be the old fossil out there making passes with other cars with half the HP running faster times but all still on fossil fuels. I do not see the industry flipping that soon. Maybe in your great grandchild's generation. The power grid needed for such a drastic change does not exist to support the concept and will be very costly regardless of which fuel route chosen to generate the power needed to support that type of paradigm shift. Electric cars area novelty to make the tree hugger and the leftist elite feel good about themselves when they buy one and will remain as such for a long time. Will a time come that this technology actually can exist in the same manner that the gas powered vehicle is today? Maybe. But much has to change in the line of generated power before this will happen IMHO. As well technology needs to advance so that a battery driven car that can travel 350 miles on a charge can be refueled in a few minutes (3-5min) not 20 minutes plus. It will take acceptance of Nuclear powered electricity production to make this happen I believe. Wind and solar will never be more than a supplemental source. Nuclear is the cleanest most energy efficient form of power known to man, and one of the safest when handled correctly. France thrives on nuclear power. We do not hear of issues with that form of electrical generation from them do we? And I would never consider the French by any stretch engineering genius'. Water power requires flooding land and is not as efficient as one would believe. While it works it is not the go to alternative from what I have learned though I once thought it could be.Originally Posted by Walter
