What do you have to back that up? If it weren't so sad for all the wasted stimulus $$ invested in these companies it would be funny. This stuff is not ready for prime time, do the math its quite basic. Energy density of even the best Lion batteries is still a far cry from a gallon of gasoline. Also, every time you go through a conversion of energy, there is a loss, so your actually using a lot more absolute energy to charge your electric car than you think. There is nothing "green" about it. Then there is the grid issue, what do you think would happen if everyone came home at 5PM and plugged their car in? A really well thought out plan.

I get real tired of govt. picking winners and losers(so far losers) rather than let technology mature on its own into something that is competitive. I'm all for investment on a scale with a reasonable rate of return. My company is doing a lot of Hydrogen fuel cell work, and I've been in a fuel cell powered BMW, pretty nice. CNG is also an alternative, and we have plenty of that.

That said, the trials bike is a good app for electric because an electric motor has instant torque. Run time isn't a big issue because its a toy after all, not a form of transportation.
