Sorry I disagree. It is the battery technology that kept us behind nor was there any battery development work done in the US. Then along came lithium-ion batteries, probably with the rapid advance of hand held devices and the industry took off.

We have an early 2000's electric forklift that uses sealed lead acid cells and you should see the size and weight of the battery pack, weighs close to thousand pounds!

Tesla batteries are made by Panasonic. Will there be a Technics SL 1200 Mk LIO that uses lithium ion batteries. Now that would be cool.
