Mercedes Benz, maker of the SmartForTwo, says it will stop producing  gasoline cars altogether in 7 years.

Mercedes-Benz is now testing their SmartForTwo as an Electric Vehicle in LA using lithium batteries.

In researching for a very comprehensive diary update on Electric Vehicles that I am publishing tomorrow (the update to my old EV diary) I came across this historical marker. To me this says clearly

Age of Oil Ends

I am finishing that diary update and tomorrow I will publish all the updated EV news in my diary titled Cars After The Age Of Oil.
