That's exactly the concept behind the Nissan Leaf, which they discussed in the article. For me, the Leaf isn't the answer. I drive from Houston to Austin regularly. It's a 200 or so mile drive. The Leaf gets 70 miles to a charge. What good does that do me? I would barely make it out of Houston before having to recharge for hours. Ultimately, Hybrids like the Volt are the best answer for the moment. They provide a practical, non-scary transition into eco friendly vehicles. Eventually, cars like the Prius and Volt will be commonplace, paving the way for more radical solutions.
