In this day and age secondary cars are common place. Most people I know have 2-3 cars, so having 1 electric around to take the kids to school, go to work (if it is close enough), do the shopping, etc.., would not be outside the realm of possibility. I commute 57 miles roundtrip to school each day and could definitely use an electric for that.
Did you hear about the car, I think it was a school project in Japan, that ran on 195 AA batteries? I reached speeds of, I think, 75 mph. I don't know how long it was able to run, but still on AA batteries a couple of hours is impressive.
I think the article I read on the Plasma generator was in Wired. I'm not positive, but other than Wizard, Comic Buyers Guide, Dragon, Dungeon(I just received my last issue in the mail the other day), Discover and Skeptic, that's about the only other mag I read regularly.
