Strontium-90, for example, has a half-life of around 28 years. Enough atomic batteries using this element would provide you plenty of power to operate an electric vehicle until it decays too far. Then you would just need to replace the batteries. But the weight and potential hazard in a major car crash could be an issue.

It's lightweight, I can lift 2 of them at the same time, and it's small enough to bring indoors too! And it costs less to manufacture this vehicle than a typical car's monthly gas bill. Because it's so lightweight and small it doesn't pose a lethal hazard to pedestrians. If everyone adopted this vehicle type exclusively, it would save a life every minute. There were nearly 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States in 2005. The financial cost of these crashes is more than 230 Billion dollars. 2.9 million people were injured and 42,636 people killed. About 115 people die every day in vehicle crashes in the United States -- one death every 13 minutes. I use a vehicle powered entirely by my self esteem!

I designed a car that has a 40000 mile range per charge, only needs servicing 1x ever 32 years and can transform into a spaceship with the push of a button. Take that Noor Majan! Oh yeah?

Just kidding. But I am curious to see the real numbers and hear the real independent reviews. I think I read about this car in a 1967 issue of Popular Mechanics. Just kidding.
