Electric vehicles in very large numbers could be recharged from coal or nuclear facilities now available or projected at U.S. utilities. Resultant savings of petroleum could be correspondingly large. With future batteries, the driving range of electric cars will become adequate for most automotive travel. Unless gasoline prices increase drastically in relation to oil prices or government intervenes directly, however, relatively few electric cars are likely to be sold in this century, because they generally will cost more and do less than conventional cars.
