I see a lot of back and forth on the benefits of EV vs gas engine in vehicles. All this debate can be thrown out the window if you look at it from a different direction:

1. We're running out of fossil fuels. You can debate on when, but it will happen.

2. EV may be good, but it's not nearly good enough to take over. I think we can all agree on that. So if we don't make significant investments in improving electric powered vehicles of some form now, we'll be totally screwed later when the petrol starts to run out.

The only logical conclusion is that we need to work on improving alternative sources energy to get around and energy in general.

Which camp? Induction or DC Brushless motors?

EV sales rose in August versus last year... These still should have all come out years ago. The best thing for them to be bought en mass is $5 gas.

More electrics and plug-ins. We are headed in the right direction.
