Good article, it seems they still have a way to go with battery technology but I think "where there is a will there is also a way".
The future is closer than ever :thumbsup:
It sound very good but over here the electric car hasn't gotten very far, in a world where we lower production to create a demand so we can increase prices it's all to crazy for me.

US Electric Car Sales Up 59% In January 2017 (https://cleantechnica.com/2017/02/04/us-electric-car-sales-59-january-2017/)
Oh it's happening Carl, as people see the real benefits to their pockets and lungs of electric cars more and more are switching. [/off-topic]
Found some actual 2016 figures.
USA 17,539k cars sold, 80k EV, 64K PHEV sold with 570k EV + PHEV registered.
UK 2,690k cars sold, 10k EV, 26k PHEV sold with 91k EV + PHEV registered.
PHEV = plug-in hybrid electric vehicle
Looks like USA is embracing the EV better than the UK. .46% to .37%
I haven't actually watched this yet, I'm at work but could be interesting:
