These are the sort of vehicles that you can already buy from most European car dealerships. The hope is that the majority of cars will be solely battery powered during the next decade.

No doubt about it - the future of road cars is electric.
I disagree that it will be fully electric. I think we'll see selectable hybrid, i.e. gas/diesel rwd, hybrid all wheel, electric fwd. I think we'll see "zero emission" areas pop up in cities and such, but fossil fuel will remain for long distance.

Until hydrogen gets the kinks worked out.
