It's disingenuous to argue energy density when we're talking about an aftermarket accessory. OEM and aftermarket are two completely different animals. I just didn't feel like letting it slide last night.

Agreed on all points. Also, OEMs have been signaling that F.I. or electric hybridization are the only ways forward for internal combustion fossil fueled autos. At least for the next 20-30 years. After that all bets are off. I mean there are so many real world indicators that counter the energy density bottom line argument that a person has to not want to see them to argue counter.
