Maybe some of the cars will get updated with new technology. I know I would not be averse to an electric motor/battery system that could compete with the Porsche motor on an even basis. We are not there yet although it could happen in what is left of my lifetime.

The electric motor/controller/battery system would have to have:
1. The same or more power
2. the same or less weight
3. the same or more range per charge
4. the same or less system cost
5. the same or less operating cost

Right now the technology to pull this off is not available. Once it is available it will be a while longer before it is affordable. I think power storage is the key.

I think plain old electricity will edge out hydrogen as the next transportation power source. ( IMHO ) I think it's time to start building some more nuclear power plants. Now where is my Mr Fusion for my flying car???
