Once electric vehicles start paying their share of road taxes that overly burdens fueled vehicle owners, there will be a sudden shift in "green" vehicles.
Right now it means gov't-subsidized roads and transportation costs (or "other drivers'-subsidized, somebody has to pay for roads)
But free-lunch doesn't last forever and electricity prices have already started to rise significantly and are poised to double (again) in the next few years.
When solar-vehicles were supposed to be the electric vehicle of the future, it was a good idea. Solar generation costs, battery weight and storage, short driving distances, and that pesky 50% of darkness thing, LOL.
Still a nice dream, but I don't see the reality of it.
Do you all remember when California passed a resolution to have "Flying Cars" by such and such date to alleviate the traffic congestion?
