Speed and Cars

This came up today, and it's a curious topic that Focus (the German magazine) brought up.  For a number of months, there's been talks over the upcoming era where only battery cars will be sold as new vehicles (after January 2030). 

So car-makers are studying the E-cars, and here's the fact that most everyone has avoided in discussions.  You will not be able to run high speeds on the German autobahns with E-cars.  The general belief is that 130 kph might be the 'limit' (if there ever was such a thing).....and high speeds would simply drain the batteries at a rapid pace.

Last year, I read two papers that talked about speeds with E-cars, and both kinda hinted that the days of 200 kph (124 mph) would come to an end. 

Course, you would still have gas and diesel cars around for another forty-odd years, and collector vehicles for another hundred-odd years.

All of this however....revolves around the problem of batteries, and the limited amount of charge you could put into such a vehicle. 

I would even make the judgement call that you might be looking at some battery charge study coming sooner or later.....suggesting that 100 kph is the max that you ought to go, with an E-car.
