Exactly. Obviously the technology available today for electric motors is not as appealing to the car scene as a gas motor… but the manufacturers have been using gas powered motors for a century. Its been the primary focus. For all we know is thy electric might have capabilities to exceed gas powered vehicles 20 years from now. Its a new technology… look at computers 20 years ago… cell phones 10 years ago. If the focus switches I’m sure performance issues can be reasolved. We need to embrace the change…
