yeah I saw this one too. that's not the first article I've read about graphene. Right now IMO thats probably one of the biggest potential next-gen tech for electric cars. If proven safe and effective, once they start being manufactured and mass produced then sure.... but that won't be for at least 4-5 yrs probably.
I think once the next-gen battery tech comes out its really going to put a huge dent in ICE cars and big oil. and then when the next-gen following that comes out...why would you buy a $5/gallon gas powered car when you can get an electric one that goes for 1000 mile range and cost $5 to "fill up"?
say bye bye to ICE entirely. petrol based cars only have a few more short years of production left....they will meet the same end as VCRs, cassette tapes, walkmans, CD/DVD players, pay phones, travel agents, disposable cameras, handwritten letters, paper maps, tv guides, encyclopedias, developed film, pagers, typewriters, dial up internet, pay by check, PDAs, CRTs, and Windows Me.
Honestly remembering to "fill up ur gas tank" will eventually become more like remembering phone numbers. Who does that?
