Tom Gage of AC Propulsion is a driving force in the world of electric cars -- latimes.com: "The future is current: Gasoline engines can be great for power or for fuel economy, but not both, Gage said. That's a compromise that electric cars don't have to make. He said vehicles running AC Propulsion's drivetrain, called the tzero, can have bullet-like acceleration yet still get from point A to point B for just a few pennies' worth of juice. The only limitation is range, which is rapidly increasing as lithium battery technology improves.

'The most compelling feature is that you don't use petroleum,' Gage said. 'For many uses, electrics are superior.'"
