    "We arent there yet because batteries wont last longer than 10 years. That's what development and funding is for...."

    You'd probably find that those with the lowest commutes are most likely to be able to afford an EV and then scrap it after 7 or 8 years instead of pay $30,000 for a new battery system. This massive scrapping of electric cars due to them being worthless, has this been factored into it's CO2 footprint as yet? I doubt it. But who would buy a 7 or 8 year old EV that's coming up for a $30,000 battery replacement? Not me that's for sure.

    Hopefully the up and coming LiS battery has a 20 year usable life, The planet has too much waste on it already!
