But anyway, with all this worldwide trend on a ban of petroleum-based fuels (and eventually fossil natural gas) for road transportation, I'd still not hold my breath for any all-electric approach. Biofuels might play an important role, eventually resorting to the enhanced fuel-economy of plug-in hybrid drivetrains in order to address both concerns about fuel supplies and the side-effects of eventual power shortages (maybe the vehicle could eventually supply energy to the household, like a genset, during emergencies).
