AutoblogGreen reader David sent us a link to his
post (at least, I believe it's his own) on the hidden joys of upcoming
EVs we all will benefit from. In some cases, the "future" EV is coming soon, and David has a positive reaction to recent announcements of the
Tesla Roadster EV and the
Smart EV and the potential for increases in future battery revenue from
hybrid batteries. David gleaned from a report from Frost & Sullivan saying that hybrid battery revenue should grow to almost $1.3 billion US in 2010, a dramatic increase from just under $600 million US projected revenue in 2007. Profits made by selling batteries for
hybrid cars are different than EV battery profits, but the some companies, like
Johnson Controls and Saft make batteries for both hybrids and EVs.
