[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2868758, member: 425"] The technology supporting this stuff is developing really quickly. Our electrical engineering group just developed a Tesla charger that takes 10 minutes to charge what used to take 10 hours. They have another one that is totally wireless (i.e., you can charge while driving down the road). Electrical innovation has been stifled and bought-out since Edison's time. Like or agree with it, or not, the times they are a changin'. There will be advances in this stuff in the next 5 to 10 years that we can't even dream about right now (much of it in testing now). Also, this doesn't need to be presented as a false dilemma. It doesn't have to be all IC engines, nor does it have to be all electric. We have lots of options, some still in development, some yet to be discovered. But, for sure, electric vehicles are marching forward despite the naysayers. It took me having one for a couple weeks to change my mind enough to really dig into it and try to understand whats going on. The fossil-fuel industry will try to convince you it's a fluke, but I don't believe that anymore. [/QUOTE]
