    Most people don’t get to high speed cruise any more. Our highways are too packed. Even when they’re not, there’s always those two guys that have to drive side by side for 30 miles just to get in everyone’s way.

      We also have plenty of people who don’t understand how to drive on a highway. In this country we’re only permitted to pass on one side, compounding the problem.

      I feel that there isn’t enough diversity in the vehicle types. We have plenty of EV that are 1-2t, essentially a conventional sedan. It’s not a good fit with li-ion. We need lightweight vehicles and the series hybrid bridges the gap while we wait for high density batteries.
