I have been following this discussion only for the last month or so,
but I am very interested in resent research data for batteries,
that is:

1.  How many J/kg is possible to store in a battery in the foreseeable future?
2.  How many J/cubic meter --"--

The reason for my curiosity is that I have just started with a half-year thesis
on Zero Emission Vehicles, studying in particular how other energy storage systems
compare with batteries.  
I think I will concentrate on Pneumatics, enthalpy of melting and mech. energy.

Any suggestions for chemical reactions that may be utilized in cars in the future?
(especially without emissions)

Another thing:
Steam engines have very good thermal efficiency, and they are
most efficient at part load, which is the normal driving load.
They also have ultra low emissions.  
Why are they neglected?  (look up Abner Doble)
