The Electric Car and The Future

We are coming to a crossroads in the automobile industry. Will there come a day when the internal combustion engine (ICE) will be as antiquated as the horse and carriage? Some believe that this is a possibility and others think that the ICE is here to stay. Statistics show that only 10% of the cars on the roads in 10 years will be fully electric. But is the emergence of the electric car the notion we should be entertaining? What about an evolutionary shift in the field of transportation itself? Instead of everybody driving around in Teslas, maybe we won't be driving at all. Perhaps our future, and the solution to our energy crisis, lies in a whole new infrastructure of trains, trolleys and bicycle paths. Roads and highways have been around for almost a century and the american love affair with the ICE is irrefutable. Can we transfer that American passion to the electric car? Will we wither away in the future? Or will we adopt a whole new infrastructure that will save us from the environmental and financial perils of the internal combustion engine?
