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.
