Sounds like the electric car idea is just a gimmick, a ploy to insult the intelligence of the car driving world.

Let's see, how many of us drive LESS THAN 40 miles to work each day? Exactly what would you do if the car ran out of power before you get to your destination? Where do you "fill up"?
Does the cost of these "electric Edsels" include battery replacements?
If not, how many thousands (per battery) will it cost to replace, and how long are they supposed to last?

See, there are just way too many questions that fuel doubt and suspicion around these "cars".

They CAN make efficient electric cars, but since that would take money away from the oil companies, they just won't produce any.

What they look like they are doing is pushing this great big "green" movement and making everyone (well, almost everyone) want an electric car, even though they have NO track record of success to play off of. Then when these "erector-set" toy cars start failing they will roll out a new line of gas vehicles (maybe hybrid but definitely gas) and VIOLA!, we're back at the gas pump s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g our wallets dry!
