Battery technology is what this all hinges on. Figuring out how to make batteries that are cheap and efficient, and without tearing up the environment gathering raw materials, is what is really gonna make the EV / PHEV market take off.

I also really wish a manufacturer would run a small diesel rather than a small gas engine in cars like the Volt. So many upsides to that....maybe it will happen if a few more small car diesels do well here.
