Is the paradigm shifting?

Now that's cool. Could we see a revolution? Only time will tell.

With gas prices on the rise I bet there are a bunch of people who would like the opportunity to buy a consumer model that lacks the performance but retains the ability to forgo the gas station.

I'm pretty sure when my 6 year old son get's older, we will build an electric car as a father son project.

There have been huge strides made in battery technology that are about to hit the market. Lead acid batteries can be made with 1/4 the weight of current lead acid batteries and 1/10th the cost of Li-ion.

This should make cheap hybrids possible, too.
