[rukiddingme]

The car industry’s effort to reduce its dependence on rare-earth elements has prompted a revival in the fortunes of an old-fashioned sort of electric motor

What were the scientists of the century who did not
scientists today?
They believed in the existence of the ether and their studies and
experiments were focused on this, first of all
Nikola Tesla's own

You have a point about the electric car.
Even in San Francisco, the electric car isn't common, due to infrastructure issues(?)  And then there's cost.

I saw my first Prius in action yesterday.  In the city, the battery power only make a *whirring* noise while the car is moving.

To say that got my attention, would have been an understatement.  A big one.

the electric car would be fine if they set it up like they did in Israel, the car pulls up to the station and it automatically removes the discharged battery and replaces it with a freshly charged battery. you don't even need to get out of the vehicle, you simple pay a type of ATM machine and your off on the road again.

All batteries are owned and replaced by the manufacturer of the battery so if a battery completely fails it is recycled and refurbished. in these terms you are actually only renting the battery.
