The University of Texas at Austin It was the first of many false starts for the rechargeable lithium battery. Like many universities of the day, it did not concern itself with intellectual property, believing such matters to be confined to the commercial world. They deserve credit for creating a true commercial product.

The cost to operate an EV, per mile, is already well below the cost to drive a standard ICE-age model, and the advantage is likely to widen. The average US residential customer pays 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) , which means the cost to drive one mile in an EV is somewhat less than 4 cents. New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)

Among the technological visions that seem perpetually futuristic (think commercial nuclear fusion and maglev trains), the hydrogen economy has always been tantalizing. You’re rapidly getting the cost of hydrogen down to where it is very competitive—and in many cases cheaper—than the fossil alternative. At the lowest emission rate—0.45
