lolder Report post Posted December 9, 2013 Battery technology will get cheaper and more powerful in the coming years. Regular ICE are a mass product and "very" cheap to make and they have been made and improved for 100 years. Now how old is really usable battery technology?Well actually electric cars have been around as long as gas ones. The word "really" is the catch and very subjective. The energy density by weight of batteries is still well short of petroleum products. We are in a transition away from petroleum and hopefully other fossil fuels. It's occuring quite rapidly from a societal point of view but slowly from advocates points of view. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
