What's up with the expert from UC Berkeley? He said that Lithium Ion batteries are too expensive...

He's just saying that he believes people aren't willing to pay what they cost now (a buck or so per watt hour for automotive li-ions). Which is why the tens of thousands of people like us in this country are going to prove him wrong :) And, in the process, drive down battery prices by encouraging mass production.
