Clearly this is indeed a daring solution to petroleum based combustion engines. Yes the downside is infrastructure implementation.. I think this would be a great federal project at this time that is completely acceptable. Considering the trillions spent on wars and bailing out private sector wouldn't this be a good investment for the future? Creating this infrastructure would have huge return on investment. Of course it would also have to include car manufactures to comply with certain standards on battery standards.
After creating the infrastructure the fed could run it and use revenues from the rental of charged batteries to pay for the infrastructure then sell it off to private interests after acceptable revenue is generated. This would be a long term implement obviously but it would be a huge move towards energy independence. All the oil pundits can make a stink about this if they like however it isn’t time to make arguments like this. America can wallow in the past or move into the future. Other countries will be moving away from the combustion engine and the electric car market is indeed the market of the future. Car manufacturers are going to need to move away from the combustion engine.
In my opinion America missed the boat on being the manufacturers of the car of the future by killing the electric car project in the 1990s. It would have advanced the sector head and shoulders in front of the competition. Instead.. American car manufacturers went on to create even larger and more gas guzzling vehicles.
Preview of “Who killed the electric car?”
EDIT:I recomend watching this documentary. It was eye opening for me personally.
