3. A gasoline engine is only about 20% to 30% efficient. Most of the energy is wasted as heat. Whereas an electric motor is over 90% efficient.

Yes, but let us look at the inputs to the E-Car.

Over on "GreenCarCongress" their is a story about how to generate the electricity for electric cars via Natural Gas and Co-Gen plants or run the CNG in the car itself. The numbers favor the Co-Gen type plants with high thermal efficiency.

Which begs the question, why not go to Nuclear plants Running 24/7, charging at night, and a game changing battery to make it all happen.

The question is will the breakthrough storage device be a Graphene Ultra-Capacitor or the Amy Prieto Battery?

Due you research on Graphene and the Prietro battery. 5 time the range on the Prietro, and Graphene's potential is amazing as well..

Or....

Have a Heating / Cooling / Generator Unit at home of which charges your car as well running of CNG which is often piped to your home.

We have been doing this all wrong, you don't go home to plug in your Volt. You should plug your Home into the Volt ( if it could provide the heating and cooling to your home...)
