You're assuming that batteries will always be as expensive as they are today. When a Tesla P85 battery costs a few thousand dollars or so, nobody's going to sell cars with anything smaller. And, everybody with an homebuilt will be thinking about how to replace whatever's in the car today with such a battery, much the same as so many with lead acids are replacing those with Leaf packs. Yes, an 80-mile range may well be "good enough." But since when have advertisers and buyers ever been satisfied with "good enough," when "more than you can imagine" is on the table? b& _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
