Sorry Linc i disagree a well. I wait with total anticipation and excitement for the electric car to become mainstream. It will be the next evoloutionary step for the automotive industry. It will be bigger than what brushless was for RC. And more and more industries are doing it. Here is a link to 63 m3 Diesel hydraulic excavator that weighs in excess of 1000Tonnes that uses hybrid technology to reduce the cost of material per tonne.
The future sure is exciting!!!
