It all sounds good but will it happen in practice?

Interesting stuff. There is also talk about the $7,500 tax credit to be replaced by a $10,000 grant against new electric car sales for 2015 in the United States. Waiting with bated breath for that one, because that could really shake up the market. It would make cars like the Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Chevrolet Spark EV really affordable.
