In Reply to: Toyota poised to unleash another revolution, just like the Prius was. posted by tinear on November 19, 2014 at 07:05:31:
I own a 2003 Prius and a Highlander hybrid, and I agree with Elon Musk. I don't want a bunch of undermaintained 10 year old hydrogen tanks driving around the country. While they'll be safe for a while, as they age the probability of their becoming bombs is all too probable.
I think that as battery technology evolves electric vehicles will be the future. I looked seriously at a Nissan Leaf and turned it down due to range, about 75 miles. It would make a great around-town-only second or third car, but you're not driving it across country. As batteries get better (charge density, longer life) electric vehicles will make sense.
