EV is the ultimate solution. Now, we need more efficient gasoline hybrid. Hopefully, the next generation after prius 3, the gasoline engine will be efficient like diesel. GM is working on that technology (fire without spark plugs, I forgot the name) At the same time, early EV should have 150miles range, 80mph, 50% recharge in 15 minutes, 80% recharge in 30 minutes, 100% recharge in 1 hour. Even better idea, have a hand carry battery under 20lb, so we can bring to office to recharge. :P Also, good for those drivers who live in apartment.
