Tech is way too new for me. When Air-Force-One travels to Japan on electric motors then I’ll consider taking another look.
I get your point, but I think your benchmark is a bit unrealistic. The government is perfectly fine with using a vehicle that costs $1 million to fill up because it is not their money. They are also fine with using an airplane that will only last 3 years, or a car that will last about the same, because there are no economic restraints on them whatsoever.
