[quote=earlyretirement]Hey AN. Oh I just meant the future is alternative fuel vehicles that can perform vs. only ICE.

I don’t know anything about Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology but honestly I’m all for ANY technology that is sustainable and more efficient.

I’m confident that they will dramatically improve battery technology over the next few years.[/quote]
I wouldn’t hold your breath about dramatically improving battery tech. People have been trying to improve battery tech well before EV. After all, the biggest market for battery isn’t EV but computers/computing devices (Cellphones, laptops). They all want better battery and they have been trying to improve it. It’s not as easy as you think.

Even w/ all those research, we still have major longevity problem. Ever wonder why your 5+ years old laptop doesn’t hold charge like it used to?

Not all ICE are non-sustainable. Bio-diesel is quite sustainable IF they can figure out how to mass scale produce biodiesel from algae. That’s totally sustainable and renewable. I’ve seen a documentary on it and they stated that algae only needs sun light and water to grow. So, they can easily create algae farms in the dessert. That, I think, is a lot more green and sustainable than EV, due to the battery.
