Valid points, all. These are other reasons why the plug-in hybrid is the ideal compromise for present-day circumstances. I agree. While we all would like to see a huge jump in tech evolution, we may have to settle for baby steps, for now. The most wonderful aspect of this is the full development of an electric car by major companies, under the title "hybrid". Get the Miracle Battery invented ....... And POOF! The whole world changes for the better.
