Beware of those here who completely evade this fact and ignore what the article is actually about.
There will be some who fight against electric vehicles, right up to the day they buy one.

Takehisa Yaegashi, the inventor of the Toyota Prius recently said that battery technology and electric/hybird vehicles had reached their technology capabilities and that he expected new advances in gasoline/diesel technologies to surpass the mileage that electric/hybrid vehicles could reach.
So the father of the hybrid vehicle now admits that electric/hybrid vehicles are destined to fail and not reach mainstream acceptance.
