It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.

A Prius is not a true hybrid, really. The current Prius is, like, 2 percent electric. It's a gasoline car with slightly better mileage.

I'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool.

Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.

I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.

Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
