Better Hurry

Get the bugs worked out, make it affordable, and I'll be interested. Until then, it makes no economic sense to me.

If I have a bone to pick with my president and his administration, it would be the fact that they have pissed away a pile of money on these pie in the sky ventures, while standing in the way of proven energy sources which are currently affordable.

The way I see it, my president is unnecessarily costing me money. And I take a very dim view of people who unnecessarily cost me money. I draw my conclusions not on ideology, but instead on economic reality.

The future will get here. Let's just not go broke trying to force the issue.

That link goes to a whole mess of reading that, in a nutshell, they Envia) have figured out a half the priced, longer distance, quicker charging battery. They say it could make the car prices go down to 25K and get 300 miles on a charge.
That strikes me as rather significant, YMMV I suppose.

I looked over your link and took it as the battery was going to cost 25K, but the price would come down after they went into production.

Perhaps I was too quick in reading the link.

Point is, whenever these newer technologies become viable, I'll jump on the bandwagon. If someone is to build a better mousetrap, I'll buy it.

I just don't want to forced into buying something which is not only more expensive than what I currently have, but by having energy prices manipulated by the powers that be to make them appear affordable by comparison.

I simply can't afford it. And I've been around long enough to spot a shake down whenever it happens.

I'm not stupid, if I can save money with something better, I'd be a damn fool not to do so.
