So, I'm a firm believer that the hybrid car or full electric cars are dumb. This is for a few reasons; Nickel mining is horrendously damaging to the environment. Plastic production and disposal is damaging to the environment. Electricity (for the most part) still requires burning coal (another fossil fuel) Carrying all those batteries is painfully inefficient. Plug-in charging can be impractical and lead to being stranded. We're trading one 100+ yo technology for another 100+ yo technology. I am a huge fan of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells though. Can retain internal combustion engines Self sufficient / easy - most new cells run with no input. Only "emission" is drinkable water. Much cleaner burn - better for engines 120 octane apparently. Its gaining momentum. Hyundai are now delivering Fuel Cell vehicles world wide; http://www.hyundai.com.au/why-hyundai/design-and-innovation/fuel-cell People are making Hydrogen fuel cell 'kits' for any combustion vehicle. This is a $2500 kit from Perth; What do you think? Would you use one of those kits on your car? I'm so excited by Hydrogen, it allows cars to remain cars while not forcing us to live in the pocket of big oil companies.
