There's actually a process underway .. falling battery prices will make electric cars more affordable in a few years than they are today. I wrote a piece on that a couple weeks ago. When I interviewed the guy from Ford last week, he agreed.
a lot of people seem to think it's a linear process, steam to gas to electricity, but there are fine shades in between. PHEVs will be the way to go forward for decades. However for many, pure EVs are sufficient for city driving. Price of lithium is stated to drop by 70% by 2020. Ford's got it right. There are no single solutions, but many.
On mynissanleaf.com some Phoenix based customers have claimed battery capacity loss. The level of concern has made it so Nissan had to respond. Will summarize the issues - because I've been tracking their conversation for weeks.
I believe someone recently posted an article here on this issue - so I'll make sure to link to that.
