That's probably correct. ICE's will be around for awhile.

One paper I received last week that is pretty impressive on battery tech. This could be the big breakthrough that we have been waiting for:

Stanford's nanowire battery holds 10 times the charge of existing ones

PALO ALTO, CA | Posted on December 18th, 2007
The new version, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion, known as Li-ion, batteries. A laptop that now runs on battery for two hours could operate for 20 hours, a boon to ocean-hopping business travelers.

"It's not a small improvement," Cui said. "It's a revolutionary development."

If this really pans out.. How about a Tesla that can go 2500 miles on a charge!

Have a happy holidays folks!
