I think that with a few more years development in battery tech and a standardised fast charge network they could actually be viable for all but the longest range drivers. Replace every existing petrol station with a charger that delivers a 200 mile range change in 20 minutes, then add charging at home, at work, at the shops.. it could work. Imagine where we would be today if we'd done this from day one instead of the 2 horse power 2 litre petrol engines we started with? Battery cars are still brand new, they have a long way to go, as does the infrastructure to support them. It is indeed expensive though. Liquid fuel is just damned convenient. Pity it's finite and we keep using it for stupid stuff.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105775 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
