Mariela Moon posted this story on http://www.goodcleantech.com/ about lithium-ion batteries, which are common but hampered by both the risk of overcharging and a decrease in charging capacity after an overcharging event. "Research for the improvement of lithium-ion has reached a milestone in Argonne National Laboratory where longer battery life and a 30 percent increase in storage capacity have been achieved." This clearly is promising with regard to plug-in hybrid electric cars and related electric cars.

Thanks for the feedback Debra! I just read today about hybrid police cars coming out. Hybrids, and especially plug-in hybrids, will make a real impact, followed soon after by purely electric cars.
