How about spending more time and dollars on really cool stuff like designing a 350HP engine that gets 50MPG without batteries?
Because it's impossible? Petrol and diesel engines are not far off as efficient as they possibly can be right now--350HP while still getting 50mpg is a pipe-dream, I'm afraid. It's still possible to get 50mpg, though, just buy a smaller car!
