IMO battery powered electric cars are a waste of time as they are very restrictive in the milage you can cover. sure they say u can charge the battery in 45mins, but after playin around with electric RC cars for a couple of years i wouldnt believe that for a second. also mentioned was changing the batteries. how many thousands of batteries are recharging stations gonna need to keep in populated areas? they would need a 10 acre warehouse just to keep them all and try and keep constantly charging them. more so, how bad for the environment are the chemicals that make up batteries?
i think that hydrogen cell electric cars are the way to go (like the honda they had on top gear). no batteries, no waiting to charge, just refill and ur off again. the best thing is its even better for the environment cos there is no harmful battery chemicals to dispose of.
well thats my rant done
