I'm glad to see BMW open their eyes... and realize the fundamental infrastructure is already in place for hybrid electric cars. Just add a few large batteries or capacitors to each station for high-peak times... and voila! Rather than starting from scratch by developing a prohibitively expensive hydrogen distribution infrastructure and storage system across the country (and let's not even talk about the high costs of making hydrogen and the efficiency loss of converting original hydrogen source to energy in motion.) Hopefully more people will see where the real potential is.. Ha.. I’m glad to see BMW open their eyes… and realize the fundamental infrastructure is already in place for hybrid electric cars.
