[26] Are electric cars theway of the future? Automobile manufacturers are under pressure to develop cars thatdo not pollute. One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by theyear 2010 ten percent of new car sales in the state be so-called zero-emissionvehicles. These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into
the atmosphere. California is a huge market for the automobilecompanies, so they are working hard to meet these standards. [27]So far theelectric car seems to be the best alternative. So the big advantage of electriccars is
that they don't pollute. However, they will be in competition withgas-powered cars and that's where the weaknesses come out. The big problem isthat the batteries that power electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amountof power they deliver. For instance, in one prototype electric car, [28] thebatteries weighed 400 kilograms. And they provide enough energy to go 250kilometers before recharging, which takes eight hours.
