That's not entirely true.

Battery technology has advanced a lot, and the Volt is a much more
comfortable, faster, safer and luxurious car than anything that
existed 100 years ago. I'd buy one now if the price was more in line.

I am married to a battery expert. The battery materials have changed but
the basic properties of a battery have not changed.

We first started riding horses without saddles and then with saddles.
The horse didn't change but, the ride was more comfortable.

Remind me to post a picture of my neighbors electric boat one of these
days. It looks better and better every time the price of fuel goes
up.

That would be interesting to see.

So?
