A car that uses a battery cannot be competitive. There is no economic effect from its use. It constantly requires recharging. We have to have two cars. For trips around the city and for distant journeys. It is more cost-effective to have one car on a traditional type of fuel.
Try that again in 20-50 years when oil reserves become scares, and that you have to sell a kidney to fill a tank.
That said, for the moment you're absolutely right. Car producers profit way too much from traditional cars at the moment to develop serious alternatives or even let it happend.
The electric car doesn't represent a solution for the future for the simple fact that the accumulators are not recycled, so the pollution suddenly will become worst. The best solution for the future, regarding the transport, is a good efficient public transport system.
True that. For now. That's why we would need serious researches on greenmotors but that ain't happenning for the reasons i mentioned above
.
But i'd love to see that happend tho ... Living in a city, i can't imagine how great it would be without air and noise pollution all day long.
