The underpinnings of many future drive systems seems to be moving away from archaic mechanical transmission drive systems to electrical systems with simplified or direct drive systems. The source of power seems to be varied, stored, or on board generation from fuel cells, solar, small gas or gasoline engines, or biodiesel. To stigmatize electrical drives as boring or inadequate seems to lack imagination, like that of the big three. It's seems that the source of energy is the question, electricity the given.
