Comments on MIT Battery Research To Enable 'Electric Phaetons'
John Jacob Astor dreamed of electric cars that would serve us in 1894; all he needed was a really good battery technology. (Read

| "Safety is not big issue, because every battery is safer than gasoline .....................
What if autos could tap to tramline electricity for charging in move, without stopping? .........
fuel cell is big competitor
......
modular, easy-plug-in and therefore selectable size route-adaptable car-battery system, might be best plus for batteries vs other tech.
