Actually, like all the rest of technology, charging times for car batteries are also coming down. These sorts of rapid advancements happening in the industry is what that article was about. Charging times are currently at 30 minutes for an 80% charge by the way. It would be incorrect to say that gas cars do everything better than electric. We are just used to one, but not the other. I never thought the advancements would be happening this fast. But then, when I was 40, I never thought there could be a computer in everyone's home, and the scope of what these computers might do was beyond my imagination. Now, most everyone has a computer with a camera and a telephone in their pocket, and if you don't, you're considered a social dinosaur. Nay saying is just a past time. I remember when my principal where I taught was sending the secretaries to computer training. They cried and rebelled. Try to get them to use a typewriter today, and they would scream bloody murder. Progress in science and technology is happening today way faster than when those secretaries were forced to use computers.
