Electric vehicles will never be more than a fringe technology until we find a replacement for batteries.

disagree. musk’s batteries go 250 miles. the issue is the cost. musk is now working on building a multibillion dollar battery plant to drive the cost of his electric battery down. So that the price of his cars will fall from 70k to roughly 35k. Musk expects his electric production to move from 22k in 2013 to 500k in 2020. The test will come about 2016-7 when his new battery factory opens. We’ll see.
