Here is an expert's view of electric vehicles...

In there, I noticed that...

"However, existing ECVTs suffer from a key problem: they rely on a mechanical planetary gears, which means wear and tear. Research centers are developing various electromagnetic means, such as double-rotor machines and magnetic gears, to solve this problem."

Isn't the NASA electrically modified transmission based almost completely on a set of mechanical planetary gears? Well that should be ok, unless they exect to travel thousands of miles.

Isn't the hydraulic version of solving the earth's vehicles need for planetary gears going to be utilizing digital hydraulics computer controlled at each individual wheel?

I also noticed that...

"The most promising fuel cells for the FEV are the proton- exchange-membrane and solid-oxide fuel cells."

Isn't they solid-oxide fuel cells that they are talking about being developed right here in Rochester, NY by Delphi, a bankrupt company?
