Default Electric powered cars.

Well, here is something that I read on my home page. Kinda weird, but cool.

I'm just waiting for the electric big trucks to come out. I figure if you fill two 53' trailers with batteries, it will have enough juice to pull itself 100 miles before you have to drop and hook to a new set of batteries.

No lie. I wonder, how much juice do those batteries have?

And, after each day of driving, you get a new 34-hour reset while the batteries charge again.

Actually, I think hydrogen power will come sooner, and be a bit more practical.
