End of story.
...........
Agree that currently gasoline offers the best portability.
The problem with calling this the end of the story is that there are literally 100’s of labs around the world working on improving fuel cells and batteries. When you throw in university graduate programs —that number goes into the 1000’s of labs.
Throw in the power of modern experimental tools —and you get an awful lot of pressure being exerted on the problem.
Given this pressure—I just don’t think it prudent to say “end of story”. People saying this have just been made into total fools by new inventions for the last 150 years.
Fast charging long lived batteries have been in the works for over a century....
I’m telling you...there are certain limitations to storing electricity which can’t be overcome. As long as gasoline is readily available, electric cars simply won’t be economical.
Get back to me when untold millions of dollars wasted on exotic batteries reach the simplicity, economy, and universal usage obtained by the simple gas can or tank. And the freedom it obtains
Enjoy your hobby knowing that you are aiding and abetting in robbing your fellow citizens with increased taxes, overt and covert. Let the electric revolution occur the old fashion way via the free market and not by government fiat.
BTW did you know there’s a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike named Kilmer after the poet. Appropos of nothing.

It is the “end of story” for realists.
The hundreds or thousands, or whatever grant suckers “working” on improving electric storage have been at a dead end for 20 years.
That is what the unbiased experts say right now. All of the ideas have been beat to death, and they see nothing promising down the road.
You can exert all the “pressure” you wish on El Capitan but it isn’t going to move one milimeter.
Gasoline and natural gas are where we are, and where we’re going, and as soon as we get your soul mate out of the White Hut we can move on with them.
