Would be better than electric though. Electric range up to 300 miles, then it takes 3-31/2 hours to recharge... Not for the family vacation thats for sure.

That's right Laaz! But the range though would cover vast majority of our major use of vehicles, more than 95% of workers daily trek to their place of work and the parents who bring their kids to school, that's the potential of savings of petroleum imports. Since we supply 8% locally or more, we can truly be weaned of our oil addiction.

Another problem with electric cars, you better own a bank when the battery go out and need to be replaced. - Millet

Well, in the first place, you may have already owned a bank when you bought one. These are in the same class as the current top of the line sports car, and it can zip by them when it comes to acceleration.
