One of the things happening to the electric car is as new tech comes to past the car's resale value tanks like that of a used computer.And over haft of the car's $30,000 is the batteries.Sounds like a smart business man should develop a cottage industry to renew these batteries and make a fortune.The other side of it is the power grid not ready for the demand of a city like NYC all to plug in that the same time.Our power grid is so old a good example of blackouts is when all the power cascaded from Ohio to I think was NYS.That will take billions to upgrade and isn't forthcoming anytime soon.
