It would be more practical if they could get twice the range. And after 2-3 years you have 21 batteries to dispose of and replace. They can run you anywhere between $50 and $100 each. They also didn't mention anything about top speed or acceleration figures. Just doesn't sound all that great to me :dunno:

Good initiative though on the guys' part.

They should've converted the D/B16 that was in there to run on hydrogen... I mean, I know it's possible. A fuel cell might be more practical than a plug-in, at least in some categories, but still sucks compared to internal combustion imo.

They use electricity to break the bond in water. So, it takes power to make it.
