You think the powers-at-be would actually allow energy to become that abundant?
I'd like to believe that but there's a LOT of money in "energy" with massive amounts spent on DC lobbying and questionable practices in history that "allegedly" prevented other energy sources from becoming too abundant. If they can't regulate it and make money from it, I highly doubt we will ever see it if they can help it.
You are right though, battery technology is in its infancy and will only improve - albeit slowly. However, from what I gather and have read across different technology/energy news outlets, we are 30 years out from anything overly innovative or set to become a new standard for energy.
*I'm surprised more manufactures didn't expand upon the hybrid approach. I sometimes wonder if they are "too efficient" and were sabotaged before they really had the opportunity to become a standard. I was never sold on the hybrid approach until my wife got one and we had to opportunity to own and drive one on the daily.
**Unless of course something lands on earth from another planet and shares with is something we are fully unaware of.
