meyersnole Posted May 16, 2014 at 06:31 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 06:31 PM (edited) We have talked different battery technologies, but this solution seems attainable much sooner.Car engine of the Future - New internal combustion engine to boost electric cars range, efficiency I got there by looking at this new truck design out of California. What Is It Like To Drive A Turbine Electric Truck? (Video) (Also very interesting.) Here is a video on the company. Wrightspeed, California, United States - Capstone Turbine Corporation This seems to be an obvious way to go, reduce the weight of the range extending engine.
