Laptop EVs are a nice first attempt at a modern reinterpretation, but ultimately, real people (not religious assholes) want to fill er up in 5 minutes, not 5 hours. Thus, GM just joined Honda for their hydrogen powered EV car, the Clarity. Top Gear's hosts announced that it is the real solution about 15 years ago, and they were correct. Hybrids are the best compromise for now, while countries decide if they wish to install hydrogen filling stations like Honda has done in California. Bottom line, if we can fill er up in 5 minutes.......it'll likely gain acceptance with the masses. If not.......**** off.

The starting point in this discussion:
Are you okay with government FORCING EVs on us, and regulating IC vehicles out of existence? -- as is currently going on. Why do you think politicians, world-wide, are so interested in pushing this? I am not okay with government forcing anything on me.
RED: What is it we're trying to solve, that needs a "solution"? We are not running out of oil nor out of energy, and "for the environment" is just a canard, an emotional tool to push a radical political agenda.
