Sounds great, but where are they going to get their electricity from?

Why not bolt a couple windchargers to the roof? :lol: I'm wondering how they're going to heat and A/C these cars without draining the batteries in a hurry?backhoeboogie said:Battery technology is going to have to improve drastically before it is a viable option. Inverters have come a very long way. The cars could be charged with solar panels while they are sitting in the parking lot all day.

I saw one article where they envision in the future where every parking place on the steet will have a plug in and meter- just like the old days had hitching posts...
I've always thought if they could develop a 3/4 ton/tonner with enough power and torque- they would be great for feed/fuel vehicles- where a person only has to drive a few miles every day-- then could recharge at home every nite...
