The question is how new this technology is really There were electrical cars before combustion engine cars cam along Also these hybrid cars have been decades in development stage Lots of the companies have been trying to overcome probelms with pure electrical cars Always failing because of refueling problems, battery sizes and weight With a fuel cell and electrical car hybrid most problems are gone With oil and electrical hybrids as a medium term solution Toyota seems to be way ahead of the pack, Honda a good second with the rest scrambling to catch up Problem for most of the big companies is they have to get rid of old technologies, old plants, old workers, old bad image before they can start really down the road of the future with these new technologies They have for obvious reasons been dragging their feet of going in for these changes but they seem to have realized that if they do not do it then they will be stuck with all those old problems and nothing to replace it once the closures are a fact
So now we have started to see plants being closed down and plans for more closures
Question is where will the new plants be built, by whom and how fast will these changes take place
Who will live to make the change
Pretty exciting times ahead for us customers
