Agreed. Of course if we could solve the problems with a technology then it is, by definition, more attractive. 🙂 If EEStor comes through (they keep pushing back their time frames for commercialization) then that could solve a lot of problems. Until then, a serial hybrid would be a big improvement even using currently available technology. It’s essentially an all-electric vehicle with an on-board generator. If electric storage tech improves and commercial charging is as broadly available as gas is today then the generator won’t be needed.
