What I'd like to know is what will happen to all the batteries when they reach end of life.

Electric cars are cool, but that power still has to come from somewhere.

People who can afford expensive electric cars probably have a solar power on their houses hah...while nickel/lead based can be bad to throw away. Lithium ones aren't as bad I believe.

I've seen a few of the smart cars on the roads around here. I'd like to take one on a test drive.
