It will be at 10ppm at 2009/01/01 all over Europe, except a few new European countries. 10ppm is in fact available since several years as new particle filters need it. Some north European countries have only low sulfur since very long time and have now 3-5ppm.

I want something nearly as practical as current ICE : range (>250 miles), distance between stations (<10 miles) and time to fill-up (< 5 minutes). For that last point with EV, the idea to swap your empty batteries with full one pleases me.
