Battery technology keeping electric car adoption in the slow lane
Researchers say incremental improvements to the cost and range of batteries could be enough to bring electric cars to the mass market.

Oct. 6 (UPI) -- When Tesla unveiled its mass-market electric vehicle, the Model 3, this summer, CEO Elon Musk promised the company would deliver 1,500 cars by the end of September. The latest reports suggest the carmaker has delivered 260.
While production bottlenecks are frustrating for Tesla investors -- and the some 500,000 deposit holders waiting for their cars -- that's not what's keeping electric cars from making true inroads in the mass market.

At least the writer was honest enough to present the problems, and these are the same problems plaguing batteries since I graduated college in 1979. A battery comparable to a tank of gasoline is just like fusion power, just around the corner.

Hybrid technology is where the smart money lies but liberals want us to quit using gasoline completely. Actually, they want control and forcing people into electric cars means they will control transportation.
