Nuclear alternative. A nuclear power plant planned would be generating when? Not before 2018. That's static fuel. It can only be made into mobile fuel if by 2018 a significant number of electric vehicles are on the market at a affordable prices.

and the infrastrcture to re-charge batteries. not only sockets but high voktave transmission and distribution lines, substattion to put switch gear...
Hopefully bateries' costly materials will not de-rail it.

Renault / Nissan is talking about going this way. I wonder if France has most of its pelectricty generate by nuclear, why is not France in the forefront of electric cars?

Ethanol as interim solution has all in place to start. In 10 years of critical mass, and technological advancement, other raw materials will be used for ethanol. Then perhaps some countries start moving into a certain % of electricity-based personal tranportation IF it is competitive vis a vis ethanol.

Hard to think fishermen going out at a sea in a eletric power fishing boat. Perhaps it becomes a niche for such transportation means:

Distributing mail, and UPS FEDEX DHL
Milk men
School buses
Public transport
