I have doubts about pure electric cars becoming the mainstream norm, but fuel cell hydroden/electric cars do show promising concepts. We just need to get the infrastructure in place. Battery tech development is starting to plateau, but I'm sure there will be some kind of breakthrough. Just look at how cell phones have evolved due to consumer demand. 10-15 years ago it was the size & weight of a brick and couldn't even send out a text message. Now I can tell Siri "I want to see boobs" and it gives me directions to the 5 strip clubs near me... that's friggen awesome!
The likelyhood of cars becoming autonomous is looming. The most ineffeciant part of the automobile is the driver. In the future, it won't really matter what fuel or power source is used. Driving will become a recreational activity like walking or jogging.
