How about a compressed air/electric hybrid? Using part of the energy produced by the batteries to compress the air, and when switching to compressed air use perhaps during highway use, using some of that energy to recharge the batteries? Another thought, exploring the idea of battery transfer stations like Israel is planning, using the existing gas station infrastructure, to exchange spent batteries for fully charged ones. Kind of like filling up at stations like we do now with gasoline, and the exchanged batteries would be continually recharged for the next customers. It would be important to develop the use of several small batteries instead of large bulky ones, and a modular approach for easy pop-in pop-out transfer. That sounds very feasible to me. What do other people think?
