Neat video .... whether its a great idea or dumb idea that remains to be seen , but as they said at the end of the video …when the mainstream carmakers choose a direction of technology its hard for the small guy to convince a change of thought
I have driven the Volt and was impressed, its not for me but certainly for urban commuters it has its application. As with anything new in production , tweaking and refinement on the batteries will only get better (lighter and longer lasting). The good thing is that manufacturers are spending more on R&D.
The next ten years cars will come with more in-dash technology than you can ever imagine (infotainment), and somehow they will convince everyone that they need to have it … LOL
