Electric vehicles will win in the marketplace once they improve battery tech. But once you can charge/replace your battery in the time it takes to refill a gas tank, the ICE is dead.
I'm not saying this as an eco-freak or anything like that.
More like an old man with 17 gas engined vehicles and lawn implements. The internal combustion engine is a big fat kludgey mess of unreliable systems. Electric motors will win.
I.E., I'm an old man who can't stand it when my lawn mower won't start. I adore my plug-in hybrid and nothing is going to stop the EV. It is coming.
im both ways about the subject. on one hand, i am capable of using solar panels to farm the sun for my plug ins and i am not capable of refining petroleum. on the other hand, complex electronics do not last.
I use solar at my lake cabin. It has worked great and been reliable for a the last decade. Plenty of power for the occasional stay.
