An interesting article about Metal Air batteries, which Tesla Motors hopes to (maybe, possibly, with some luck) make a reality, extending the abysmal range of their vehicles. www.silverbearcafe.com/private/04.14/metalair.htmlBehold the slow march of progress.  |

Abysmal range? Depends on the driver and purpose doesn't it?

Regardless, it may well be getting better.
I figured the article would be of interest, at any rate.

Seemed like speculation- no telling what that guy (Musk) has up his sleeve.

And for more efficiency on even shorter trips, the horse will make a comeback as long as you leave the saddle on during the day. Just apply all AGW arguments here, along with the same level of subsidy that EV manufacturers and consumers enjoy.  |
