Squeezing more miles out of each gallon by using electricity makes sense in a world of increasingly expensive petroleum.
There have been electric cars almost as long as there have been cars, but for the last eighty years of the electric car's life, it has been relegated to the farthest fringes of the automotive universe. Electrics have been held back by their batteries, which don't pack nearly as much energy as a tank of gasoline and therefore hobble these cars with a painfully short driving range.
