I prefer to drive a vehicle that is the PRIMARY energy producer and not using 2nd or 3rd generation energy that most of which has been wasted.
People who drive electric cars WASTE energy. My SS is a primary producer. I save the planet. The volt is wrecking our planet!
If the goal is to make energy somewhere and then store it in the car (battery) and use it later, why bother with expensive batteries and junk. Why not just put a couple of inexpensive compressed air tanks in the car and use the energy in the compressed air to power the car. It's the same as a battery, but costs a lot less.

I think the eventual purpose of developing battery technology is taking advantage of renewables - can't really waste the wind or sun can you?
