And I'd like 12 classic cars in my garage in 11 years. Who knows if either will happen? But Germany has a plan, and it includes:

a large amount of funding for advanced battery development, investment in an electric car charging infrastructure, and tax credits for the adoption of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. Conceived by four separate German agencies — the departments of Economics, Transport, Environment, and Education/Research — the plan is on track to be signed into actual law at the beginning of the next German legislative session.

I'm not convinced that electrics are the best answer to the transportation problems, I personally see more promise for bio-fuels, particularly outside of urban areas. Of course, Europe is a different market from the US, with less land area, denser urban populations, and higher energy costs. And a concentrated effort to improve battery technology and find renewable power sources with the support of government could help solve some of the significant hurdles to electric car adoption.
