Batteries are still the main impediment to electric cars and other forms of alternative energy. Like the internal combustion engine the state of the art has not really ramped up in 100 years.

You can burn your fuel at the power plant many miles away, or you can burn your fuel under the hood.

Either way, you’re burning fuel.

There’s no such thing as an “electric” car.

There are gasoline fueled cars, diesel fueled cars, coal fueled cars, methane fueled cars, uranium fueled cars, hydrogen (fusion) fueled cars ...

Very true.
And fun watching EVs evolve.

As the technology becomes closer to viable, others can smell the money.

Replace the electric batteries with a liquid fuel.

Add a carburetor and fuel injectors.

Replace the External Combustion with Internal Combustion.

Now I will buy it.
