Another roadblock for EV's is the transportation industry, and the AG industry.

Those vehicles (buses/trucks/tractors) must be able to run for 18+hrs a day, and do it under much more demand than these passenger cars.
I for one was really disappointed that GM never really followed through with the hybrid diesel systems. I really believe that a Diesel fired generator would be ideal for my truck, and many of the farm/transportation trucks.

ps. Lutach - your argument is sound. But until you actually build it, test it, prove it, all it is is an ideal. Get us these "magic" cells, and we'll help you prove it!!!!
