There is a supper capacitor that will charge really fast but I think more normal batteries will be fin for normal every day use.
It is easier to recharge at home than it is to stop at a gas station.
For cross country trips a gas car will be hard to beat but that is not the point, the second car could be electric and if 40% of the daily driven cars were electric the in city pollution would be much less.
I live in Phoenix and in 1970 we had beautiful clean air all the time but now we have 3 million cars and it is always smoggy. I can barely see the stars at night some times. Any thing that can remove or displace the in city pollution I would love to see if it can be done cheep.
Run the big in city trucks on NG, go to 20% or more electric cars, throw in some supper lean burn cars and the air would be much cleaner.
I don’t care about the CO2 just the in city smog.
Basically, you believe that consumers should buy and maintain two cars per person. One for cross country travel and one for city commutes.
Wow.
