They are on the way. So far, as near as I can tell, Teslas are already in use. Ford Mustangs are being tested. England, Germany and Italy are looking at them.

Don’t ask me how the big problems will be solved. After an hour on the net, I found not one hint. As an aside, I found out one of those incredibly cold countrys, Norway I think has a purchase rate of over 90 EV. That’s right. Reread it 3 times. I guess they don’t like gas so much.

The only thing I can figure is that gas cars require heating for batteries and crank case and cabin when it gets 20 below. Batteries become useless unless they are kept warm and oil gets really thick below zero. I know a guy that lived in Alaska and he had to plug his car in before going in the store.

At any rate, my best wild guess. They are making massive improvements in batteries. Mainly, they are decreasing the weight and cost. I would guess they will double the batteries. With all that, they might get the range upto 500, maybe 550 miles. With that and a full charge at the beginning of each day might allow them to make it to the end of day without a recharge.

According to the web sites I saw, they will cost your local department a tad shy of 100 thousand. However, you will like it that they will be able to charge it by wind or sun, depending on the weather.
