As a comentator suggests here, I also think that the electric batteries will gain the race over the fuel cells.
The comment, albeit anonymous, stresses that GM has made a recent move to the development of electric batteries over its previous choice - the fuel cells. As a matter of fact, Bob Lutz, GM vice-president, has said so in June, 2006 in an interview to Automative News: "Tom Stephens (group vice president of GM Powertrain), Rick Wagoner and I believe in the ultimate electrification of the automobile". Furthermore, Bob Lutz said that "(A) series hybrid could run primarily on electricity from lithium ion batteries, with an engine as backup to replenish the batteries". And recently, as Horse Power Sports notices, has mantained that "executives think electric vehicles are the future".
It seems that the future is knocking GM's door (and the other majors). And its name seems to be lithium ion batteries. Now, let's us see if they open the door. And which will be the supplier of the lithium ion batteries.
