Next gen plug-in batteries decades away
No real change until this changes?Over the next several years manufacturing improvements will significantly reduce the cost of lithium-ion battery technologies for hybrid and plug-in vehicles. Inevitably, however, commodity pricing will impose a price threshold upon current battery technologies that will still be too high for most consumers according to researchers.
Thus, new battery technologies will be required to mainstream battery powered vehicles, and one of the most researched 'new' battery technologies is lithium-air.
Recently, breakthroughs in catalyst efficiencies have hinted that lithium-air batteries might eventually replace lithium-ion batteries because of their significantly better energy density. Nonetheless, top researchers claim it could take a decade or more just to work out the significant science and engineering challenges that remain before commercialization. Even then many years of cell phone and computer applications would be required before such technologies could become cost-effective for automotive applications.

what kind of battery changes are we expecting?
I agree.
That break-through technology is still a ways out.

It is very important to get the 9Dragons hacks，When you play the game 9Dragons guild，how much you got 9Dragons quest the most? Even through, we make so much; we still want to get more 9Dragons forums，The fact is that only if you 9Dragons cheats.
I don't know how many individuals here also post or read news on the MIT website. Here are a couple of articles on battery technology some of you might find interesting.

I have a tendency to be an optimist and think the battery technology we need will be available by peak oil in 2014 or shortly there after.

Or maybe this article which will allow us to get there in 5 years.

Hey there,
We have been reading the articles on your website http://www.hybridcarblog.com/index.html and are very impressed with the quality of your information.
We have a team of copywriters who specialize in writing articles on various topics and would like to write an original article for you to use on your website – this article will not be used anywhere else on the Internet.
In exchange all we ask is that we can have one or two links within the body of the article back to one of our sites. You can view a sample of the quality of our articles at http://blog.1car1.com.au/
If you are interested in having us write an article for your website please just let me know and we would be more than happy to have one written for you within two weeks.
Kind regards,
Papia
