[QUOTE="But Benefits Are Great!, post: 360088, member: 15794"] Battery technology. The ability, means are available now. Unfortunately, to get a 150 mile range with meaningful power, you would need (the equivilent of) 120-140 car batteries, which would weigh a ton. Or use lithium Ion/Polymer batteries, which would be much smaller - but then each truck would cost 1.5 million dollars. You heard it here first: Package cars will be electric, with just a few LiPo batteries, some ultra capacitors, an AC motor system, and a diesel generator. Fuel economy would double. [/QUOTE]
