Forgive my ignorance, but could someone clarify whether Toshiba's recent battery breakthrough actually means that an all-electric car is actually feasible, or would some form of a hybridization still be the norm?
What struck me as most poignant was one of Mike Carrell's original comments stating that charging a large vehicle friendly mass of these batteries at maximum warp speed (at your local "service" station) would likely vaporize them! I would also think that the electrical cables themselves would have to be pretty thick to accommodate the amperage. A typical driver making the connection to his car might feel a tad intimidated considering how much juice would have to be flowing through the bottleneck for the next couple of minutes. What if it's a rainy day?
