Hi taraz. agree with you about looking forward to an electric car. Some countries are more advanced along this path than others. I was in Paris last year and they are available to the residents t get around the city. They have a card which gives them access to this facility. They are dotted all over the city plugged in and charging. I was quite amazed how far ahead they were.
Formula 1 has done a lot of development around batteries and storing energy and energy recovery from the braking system. I think over the next 5 years we will be looking at a longer battery life per charge so you don't have to stop every 200 or 300 km's. I am looking forward to having instant power and some whiplash.
