Well, you summed up one of my problems with CNG right there! It is viable, and has been around basically unchanged and fully mature since the mid 90's (did you know that Dodge sold a CNG powered minivan in 1994?) The fact that there is so little interest from the corporate/government world yet means there never will be. It is a passed over technology. Electrics are in their infancy, there is a LOT of room for improvement in the upcoming years, and at the moment there is interest and some momentum for them. Yes, electric cars have been around since the 70's too, but recent battery developments and the pace at which they are improving is unprecedented.
First they ignore you. Then they mock you. Then they fight you, then you win.
I believe we are somewhere between the mocking and fighting stage with electric, so we are getting closer to the win. :B
Electric cars have been around since the 1800,s. It seems they could have made them work in over a 100 years
If they had today's tech back then you would be driving electric today...LOL
CD you said it all, good thoughts and thinking!
Every day and I mean every day I am stopped and asked about my Volt. If I could only guess where to dump some cash, a man could see a nice return. Sorta like getting into oil in the late 1800s.
I'm wondering about this inrush of small diesels as to their effect on diesel prices. Ford's to intro a 4 cylinder and VW has one here several others are coming across with them also. We may be done with gas in a few years.
