Battery power for 3-5 miles is plenty if they can do a fast charge at designated bus stops. For 30 years (since first oil embargo) I always thought the way to go was electric cars with 50 mile range, but make all limited access highways have a hot rail lane and vehicles could charge while driving. That would work for 18 wheelers as well. That plan would work even better in the future as our government is already planning on tracking our miles by satelite, so this way they can keep track of how much highway driving electric cars do.

Thanks for the link Vegas. Hey Vegas, the family will be in town next month. We plan on exploring the Asian district (Spring Mountain Rd) to shop and eat. Will also catch the BBQ at Ellis Island and hit the black jack tables after midnight. Son enjoys The Fremont Street Experience. Watch for the guy with the Rio Sky Parade beads and coconut Daiquiri (in a 5 drink football, of course). =D~ Very good news. Thanks for the link Vegas.
