Have batteries progressed that far already? That was fast! It seemed like yesterday that they were catching fire or exploding at an alarming rate. And the expense you incur when it dies and won't fully charge anymore...it's around half the cost of a new one once you throw in the labor to swap it out. And what are they going to do with the dead batteries? I don't think they have a way to dispose of them that is enviro friendly. Just dig a pit, throw them in and cover them over? Sounds like what they do to nuclear waste. Let future generations worry about it. Fun Fact: Most delivery companies won't ship anything with modern batteries in them because of the hazard and potential of leakage or fire. And you want me to drive around with one?
I would rather have an alcohol/ethanol powered vehicle. I've seen it doesn't take much to convert a gasser to A/E. And it's renewable, not to mention much simpler and cleaner. I guess corporations can't make enough from it, so they're going for a complete system overhaul. And we're going to pay for it in more ways than one. Makes you wonder...
