@Abel, another govt program? So millions can pay for something they'll never use? I like EVs but the infrastructure is way too underdeveloped to be useful.
Or some kind of dynamo system that charges from the wheels going round. Or like James May did on Top Gear... Electric motor charged by a very small engine (a backwards hybrid)
@matteus, ur right I agree with you. That would be alot more practical unfortunately that's not where the industry is headed towards...
But when it takes 6 hours to fully recharge the Nissan Leaf....or you can use a 30minute fast charge station that seriously diminishes the fuel cell life they are still not practical. Give me an electric car whose paint is effectively a massive solar panel and it recharges as you drive or when it's just parked and then we have something.
Would be nice to have a charging station in every gas station in the US. Maybe people would consider buying Ev's. You never know, maybe it should be a government program?
Description: However there is a revival in the belief that fuel-cells will be an important factor in car electrification following improvements in tests results from last year. "The industry faces a tough dec...

The best idea I've heard so far is to use an electronic propulsion for acceleration and an internal combustion engine for maintaining speed, especially above 25-30 mph. That is what a hybrid is, yet we have yet to see it effectively implemented
It looks like there's a battery and a capacitor powering up a tiny audio amplifier lol
Don't need anymore then that. If you go any faster, you will only go 10 miles then need to charge again lol.
