There was a PPT presentation floating around years ago about a lefty conspiracy theory that held that the Chevy Volt was an exceptionally designed and efficient car, but the “powers that be” did everything in their power to make sure the cars were destroyed for good.

The success or non-success of the electric car will be determined by the development of battery storage. Over the past 100 years or so, battery technology has been evolutionary not revolutionary. Consequently, there really hasn’t been a breakthrough. And, to my knowledge there isn’t anything on the horizon. Personally, while I’m ok if the propeller head class wants to continue tinkering with batteries I believe its a lost cause. There are other types of energy sources that have far greater potential (hydrogen?). Meanwhile, hydrocarbon based sources such as natural gas can and will carry us through the rest of this century quite nicely :)
