Batteries are twice as good now. That was a very light, flimsy car, purpose-built for efficiency, and with no cargo or passenger capacity to speak of. When you're thinking of using electric cars for longer trips, in addition to range per charge, charging *time* must be taken into account. It wouldn't do to drive 250 miles only to have to spend 8 hours recharging the thing. This problem might be correctable by standardized, modular, quickly-replaceable battery packs. -Andrew
