True, true. Too bad it'll be so reactionary.. hopefully people will jump on the opportunity early on, before the curve on price rise accelerates too much.

I foresee the corporations squeezing every penny out of us that they can due to high gas prices (without problems for the economy) and then mass producing electric cars they've been developing when they feel they can't wait any longer without massive economic problems for themselves.

/yay capitalism?

Imbrifer, in all fairness there's been several technological hurdles that have stood in the way advancing the electric car as a viable replacement for the internal combustion engine. Battery Tech is one of them. I tend to believe this is not something the established special interests are quietly opposing as battery tech is not limited to just vehicles and is far broader. That area more than any other will move the EV forward as it progresses.
