Well I will be the first to cheer if thats what it can actually do in the real world when its on the market. Until then I am the king of dont believe it until it happens. But I do enjoy all the stuff you find so thanks for the reading.
Well, it's a project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Traffic, so it could well be that we see these cars on the roads here not too far in the future.
Some past projects got some traction too, like gas-powered vehicles, and other types of electric vehicles.
This new type of vehicle is the definite proof that it's possible. The question is whether automakers will jump on the train and actually make those cars.
Gas stations with suitable charge spots would be highly desirable. A charge time of only 6 minutes will have customers come into the gas stations and purchase stuff.
House owners could charge overnight or quick-charge in the morning.
I've heard that the US electric vehicles are also pretty good, even the Chevy Volt with its currently limited range. New battery technologies like those shown above will give cars better range, and such cars would be highly desirable on the US markets as well.
The question is whether the old-boy-networks of automakers will be flexible enough to change the industries depending on fossil fuel motor production into industries depending on electric car part production.
In my lifetime, I've also seen many interesting projects come and go, and I hope that finally, the auto industry is capable of change.
If not, we'll be purchasing them from China or Japan, and names like Mercedes-Benz will only ever be printed on household appliances anymore.

p.s.: It's also possible, that someday retrofitting shops will emerge if the auto industry proves to be too inflexible.
