Its all about energy storage. As Faraday and Maxwell discovered a couple of hundred years ago, energy is ubiquitous throughout the universe. It is just a matter of time before a viable alternative to fossil fuel is found. Driving a petrol powered vehicle, of any type, will become much like riding a horse is today. A novelty or hobby.

My father-in-law, a auto mechanic by trade, predicted that the gas engine would be completely replaced, with electric drives, within 20 years. That was almost 40 years ago. Still waiting.

However, battery technology is getting interesting. If you haven't seen this show it is worth the time.
