One advantage of being a rather older entrepreneur than most is that I get to be a grandfather and watch my five-year-old grand-daughter, Aurelia, sitting quietly with her long unruly blond hair, unself-conscious, unaware of being observed, deep in conversation with her imagined world of mythical creatures and adventurous rescues. I am reminded that the imagination of a young child is boundless.
The general acceptance of electric vehicles in both hybrid and fully electric are increasingly part of the automotive landscape and a cornerstone of all the major automotive manufacturers strategic plans. A Venn diagram of EV growth, geographic location and relative prosperity would indicate that growth will be concentrated in markets that are both dense population centers and smaller geographies. Undoubtedly the most recognized name in EV today is Tesla whose products are full EV not hybrid and it is that type of product, the full EV that is the most interesting. While energy storage (battery) research continues at a fevered pace not only for electric vehicles but for other applications, the reality is that EV’s have to be recharged.
