It goes zero to 60 in about four seconds. Its top speed is 130 miles per hour. And it doesn't use an ounce of gasoline.

I like it.

And as battery technology advances, and improvements are made, the cost of these vehicles will come down, and will become more efficient in terms of charging time and extended battery range.

Battery technology is at about as far as it can go. It is one of the most mature technologies around. I wouldn’t get too excited about some wonderful breakthrough in this area. If something replaces the IC engine it won’t be soon, and it won’t be batteries.
