GEs 1968 EV!

Wow, so GE was working on an electric car in the 1960s! I had no idea fuel cell technology has been around for as long as this article states. Did you know that the Gemini space missions relied on small, stable and powerful fuel cells? Standing up to entreched interests as oil and automobile manufactures proved to be too much apparently as this project was lost to history. I guess this idea never really went away though, I remember reading about electric cars (and steam) being commercially avaiable around the turn of the century before being replaced en mass by ICE vechiles. I think this time around electric transportation will really take off. This article even mentions hybrid vechiles using bascially the same defination as we use it today. crazy!
