Hybrid is where its at, for sheer performance terms the elctric motor owns, however finding a good source to power it is the biggest problem

Yeah thats what made me realise how good electric motors are. But the guy that made it will be the first one to admit its weak point is the batterys. A lith-ion battery loses 5 percent of its capacity every month wether you use it or not. And 12000 of the little buggers get expensive to replace. So yeah, bring on fuel cell powered electrics. OR Hydrogen fueled GTE Hybrids :twisted:
