There will never be a PRACTICAL incentive to do so!
All electric vehicles will forever leave you subject to the whim of tyrannical men, with no possibility of relief.

This is all very well and good. But both Japan and Germany have realized that they can never ever be energy independent as long as they rely on oil. Not just that. Even more than the US —they can’t afford to be shipping trillions of yen euros dollars and deutschmarks overseas to pay for oil.
These folks are serious engineers with serious money to back their efforts and a serious passion to make alternative fuel automobiles cheaper than internal combustion engine autos.
You wanna bet against these folks. I wouldn’t. Its going to happen. The world is changing. Get used to it. In this case its a very good thing because competition between these fuel systems will drive down the cost of transportation to the benefit of the driving public.
