Someone really needs to step up to the plate here and get things moving, I don't know if that's auto-makers that need to work together or the government that has to mandate things...
If each car company builds there own battery pack size, style, etc, there is going to be chaos, and nothing will catch on. If there was one standardized pack, you could pull into a 'gas station' anywhere around the planet, and get a freshly charged pack plugged in within a few minutes. Then you could hop back in your electric car and keep on car-ing (looking for the synonym for trucking)??
I know it will take a while to flush out a winner, it always does. Think of the Beta tape vs. VHS, DVD-R and DVD+R, Firefox and Internet Explorer, and the list goes on.
