the only problem is that if plug and play cars go into the “Mass Market” we will need more energy to power them.
That means building more Natural Gas, Coal, or Nuclear plants.
It’s a nice looking car, but I am a bigger fan of the gas guzzlers of the late sixties! 😎 It would be nice if they tried to impliment a solar panel on the roof of that electric car so you could maybe squeeze a little more mileage out of it between re-juicings. Plus then if you ran out of juice and were not anywhere near a plug in you could have a fighting chance of not being stranded forever.

Bob, MassBass, you are predicting failure of electric cars in the future given today’s alternative energy source technology. I am not an alternative fuels (or any type) of engineer, but I am sure at least one of those guys has better access to the development timeline for other sources of energy, like solar, and are not depending on a slew of new coal/oil power plants. Not to mention better productivity and cleaner production from existing plants. Or bovine gas technology! 😉
Zach, that’s big news. I think the average person is not “addicted to oil” – they are addicted to powerful, safe and cool-looking cars/trucks that are now run on oil. When alternatively powered cars are sufficiently powerful and safe, watch out . . . and these seem to almost be there.
