When the batteries are developed and then the patent is sold to gas companies, you will never see that technology ever again (Texaco bought the battery patent for the Saturn Cars batteries)
They all got scrapped and the people who leased them wanted to buy and could not, instead, they were sent to a junk yard (there was nothing wrong with the cars)

Uh, I think you need to check some facts. Saturn was never an electric vehicle. It got closed down due to incompetent upper level GM managers from other divisions being transferred to Saturn and brought their old anti-quality practices with them. They transformed Saturn from an innovative quality car manufacturer to just another run of the mill don't give a damn about quality car company.

It was NiMH battery patents that Texaco bought. It did have an adverse impact on some early EV production but some cars still use them so their availability hasn't been totally shut off. And they're being replaced by Lion batteries.

When they get them to a 300-mile range with 15-minute full recharge and the infrastructure to support all the other electrical requirements across the entire country, I might think about an electric Spyder. As for now, I'm relatively satisfied with my 175-mile range and 10-minute refills to be on my way again.
