I wonder what ever happened to hydrogen fuel cell technology. Not enough profit in it? The byproduct of burning hydrogen is water, I believe. Too simple or too difficult?
Like you said, the materials for making decent batteries is obtained mostly overseas. Until they can make a battery that will fuel a motor vehicle for a 500 mile trip, who wants one? Sitting in line to charge your batteries for hours, makes a distance trip take a long time. Are they planning to build hotels around the charging stations?
