    Man, saving the planet isn’t cheap…seems like a lot for a little commuter.

    You would think if they were really serious about the environment, it should be inexpensive. On one hand I like the technology and on the other it is just another excuse to sell more products. The planets climate has fluctuated wildly over the course of the Earth’s history, we just happen to be living in a relatively mild period, and now it is used as a marketing scheme.

    Well the battery tech and mfg. process is still moving to reduce costs. It's not inexpensive now. But will eventually even out in time. But there are inexpensive choices under 30k right now.

    Given the current state of the world and rising prices on…well…damn near everything, I am not holding my breath.

    Yeah I dunno, prices keep on going up and up, think an economic crash is the only thing that will bring them down, and that isn’t good for the common folk.

    Green Hydrogen vehicles will be coming once production is scaled like WalMart is doing for their forklifts. The company doing this is called 'Plug Power'

    I'm all for getting off fossil fuels and into renewables, but seems like there are so many points of efficiency loss in this system that it wouldn't be viable unless at massive scale. Granted this is at a glance with little knowledge on the subject.

    I've long thought nuclear power generation is a more realistic next step while tech advances dictate whether future state is solar/wind/geothermal/hydro electric-direct to consumption or some alternate delivery like hydrogen.
