I have no problem with coal, and I get the poor energy conversion for electric cars. However, some of what I am looking into makes me wonder if that could all change, which is a huge shift for me as I have not been a proponent of E-Cars.

Are Battery breakthroughs ( amd replacing plants w/ here and now Co-Gen Nat. Gas Plants ) almost here for a real paradigm shift?....

Keep it simple when examining electric cars. A ten gallon gas tank will propel a car 300 miles. It can then be refilled in 5 minutes. That tank and the fuel in it weighs about 90 pounds when full.

When a battery can do what the tank of gas will do it will be competitive with a conventional car. Until then keep pumping gas. Try driving a Tesla from Denver to Las Vegas in one day. Any conventional car sold today will do that easily. A Tesla or Leaf will not.

Now hitch a 21 foot ski boat to a Tesla. Will it even tow it? How far?
