Your electric car of the future. WILL NOT NEED The massive batteries
present cars now carry..
The electric Car of the future will never require being pluged in for
Charging, Charging will be automatic, At home, at work, or at the
shoping mall, or visiting a friend. most places where you park your car.
the "plug in'' and disconnect will be automatic.

I think we need a change of mind set regarding electric cars, make them
"range rated", eg my wife's work
commute is less than five miles why would she need a car with a range of
50 miles? If a simple lightweight
electric vehicle could be made for such limited ranges, surely it would
be far less expensive. There are
electric scooters out right now for less than $2000.00 that would suit
the purpose, but they wouldn't be
much good for commuting in poor weather, so how hard would it be to
produce a glorified golf cart
for urban commutes under 10 miles?
