The combustion engine is far far far from dead, people have got to stop buying into the hysteria.
As for Li-ion batteries being the end all answer: Far far far from it. Numero uno; no one knows how long these things will last, let alone the expense of replacement. Dos; there are huge issues with charging these batteries; Say eveyrone goes plug-in in 20 years (the majority of folks and the majority of cars on the market), what happens when everyone comes home and plugs-in at 5pm and drains the local power supply because everyone is charging at the same time??? Right. This is technology in it's infancy with many unanswered questions.
