[QUOTE="CruiserClass, post: 1824564, member: 61332"] Nobody has a crystal ball, but just a thought: The automobile had displaced the horse as the preferred mode of transportation and had made significant in roads into agricultural use in roughly 20 years or so. Some of it due to regulation in cities, but much just do to shifting consumer preference. In roughly 50 years, horses were a novelty or sporting only sort of thing, nobody used them for serious work (other than the Amish and other hold outs, I suppose) Think of how rapidly the internet and data transmission tech has improved. Computers have gone from giant machines of limited ability to smart phones in many of our lifetimes. For that matter, even ICE has made leaps and bounds. Nobody in the 70's or 80's would imagine the combination of power, efficiency, and reliability rung out of a modern vehicle. Those of you thinking this is some flash in the pan or will take generations to mature, maybe, but I personally wouldn't bet on it given the investment in talent and treasure the big players are putting in to it. There are some very smart people working on something that can make a lot of money, and that's historically been a recipe for rapid advancement of a given technology. I'm not ready for an EV yet, but I suspect it's the future if you prefer it or not. [/QUOTE]
