I beg to differ. The infrastructure required to supply a billion cars with electricity is a very long way off.
Cheers, Paul
no it isn't.
i said gradually. not in an intance. market is going to change and develop into electrical car industry.
that means suppliers we have now for petrol cars are going to move into electric industry - thus providing supply.
china is one country that has enough potential to supply materials needed.
batteries are the biggest issue in this department. not even looking in lifespan and efficiency at this moment, the
production of working batteries [remember, we're not talking alkaline or duracell aa-batteries here] is an area of
development. I'm sure that's where the big Oil concerns are eager to be in control of.
the infrastructure isn't off that much, everywhere electric charge stations are popping up, slowly fast-charge stations are
popping up at fuel stations. There is a swift development in 'remote charging' with floor pads, charging cars 'remotely' from the floor - these pads can be easily sunk into parking spots and parking lots.
all it takes is demand. There isn't enough demand at this moment for these technologies, hence there isn't the supply provided. But in due time, the automobile industry is going to move into a direction where the demand for electric power supply wil grow and then supply will come because the industry will respond to the demand.
anyway, way offtopic here.
