The way i see it is that all this kinda stuff, all be it not perfect, but a step in the right direction none the less. Im over the moon that people are finally starting to produce and develop other means of transport. Theres more than one way to get from A to B.

the next generation of batteries will last a lifetime.

In other words, every time you change chemical energy to electrical energy and vice-versa you do it with an efficiency <1. Ergo, a rechargeable battery will lose capacity each and every time you use it. Efficiency will improve, but battery packs will always need replacing after a time.

Fair point. Im in favour of both elctric and hydrogen cars anyway. Im not putting down the hydrogen car by any means. I just favour the electric car more so because of the 2 gear novelty and the different driving feeling it gives.
And the one in my first link you can take the top off of it! That for me is bl00dy awsome!
