How about an in-depth piece on batteries - why they are so expensive and what's in the tubes that is likely to bring the price down so that we can have an affordable BEV.

Is it materials cost, manufacturing cost, or simply economics of scale?

Is MIT's micro-wave process likely to cut costs in half?

Is the cost actually 2 or 3 cents per MILE? That sounds about right. (As oppposed to equivalent to gas at 2 or 3 cents per gallon.)

03/2007 AAA estimated the average car in America cost 9 cents per mile for gasoline we must assume  this is probably significantly more today perhaps 20-25% more...
