Why would companies like GM,Nissan,Volkswagen,Audi,Hyundai to name a few be heavily investing into Electric cars if they were not the future? The grid is a readily available source of electricity for charging. I have 100% complete confidence that by 2025 that 25 % of the people in North America will be driving electric cars.The technology for longer range batteries is gettting better each year . Tesla is building a China factory to produce cars there. If you want to keep getting ripped off at the gas station be my guest ...China and Europe need EV`s more than we do currently and they will be the biggest growth areas of adoption
