[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1822818, member: 39584"] Expect disappointment. Electric motors have been around since the 1820s and were first put to use in a tool in the 1830s. It wasn't until the 1870s that a useful internal combustion engine was developed. We've been optimizing electric motors longer than internal combustion. On top of that, there's a lot less room to use computer control to improve electric motors the way we've done with gas engines over the last twenty or thirty years. The big hope really, is a clean efficient recyclable battery. But that's chemistry, not electronics, and we've been working on that for even longer. What I really expect to happen is that virtual reality and AI will get so good that no one ever wants to leave home again. [/QUOTE]
