"I don't think it will have much to do with Ford or GM." Probably not. They didn't learn from the Oil Embargo, where they got caught with their pants down with their product mix. Longer, lower, wider suddenly met high priced gas. However, both are in far worse shape now than they were back then. If their management has any brains, and there isn't any sign of that, they'd be all over companies like EEStor. Both have experience building electric vehicles and both could use some advantage over Honda and Toyota. Honda and Toyota have a big investment in hybrids and would use ultracapacitors to make plugin hybrids, resisting any move to pure electric vehicles. Ford and GM have nothing to lose.

Figure the winners now and you would die a very rich man. I don't think it will have much to do with Ford or GM. F and GM, esp. Ford, are in deep financial trouble......we'll be lucky if they both survive. The years of benign neglect and idiocy have taken their toll.
