We have been waiting for years to be able to use flying cars with our cool futuristic clothes, but where is it? I\u2019m still using the public buses that were manufactured back in 80’s, where is my shiny future? At least answer me this: when will we use electric cars?<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a><\/p>\n

OK, hold your horses for a minute and listen to me: we have already been using electric cars, but a futuristic revolution from science fiction movies with flying cars did not happen because we are still trying these new cars and they are very expensive at the moment.<\/p>\n

In Japan, electric cars can already be bought and used. There are \u201celectric stations\u201d on road that are specially designed for electric cars, but as their manufacture is still far away from being the mainstream trend, we still cannot see electric cars on the streets.<\/p>\n

The future of electric cars is also determined by the market. If petroleum is too cheap and electricity too expensive, who would invest in electric cars? First, we need time to see whether the market will be ready or not. But researchers believe that may be possible at a date as early as 2020s.<\/p>\n

We are only 3 years away from 2020, should I cancel my plan to buy a new car and wait for the technology? Well, maybe it is too early for such a decision, but if the battery prices keep falling, the car you are currently driving may be old-fashioned in a matter of 10 years.<\/p>\n

If we are only a decade away from electric cars, what is the next step for humankind? Will we be able to stop killing each other and start enjoying an eco-friendly peaceful life? That is probably even more difficult than designing flying cars, I\u2019m afraid.<\/p>\n
