Funny, I have 3 EV's - all are alive and well.
One of them is 32 years old.
One of them has driver AND passenger airbags and daytime running lights and passes all current standards.
Two of them are running on USED batteries.
NONE of them gets less than the equivelent of 130 MPG.
ALL of them run off renewable energy.
What's not to love?
Issues of range have FAR more to do with our culture than with technology. Suburbs, cars, and gasoline have a terrible co-dependent relationship.
If we had been driving electric vehicles all these years and somebody came out with gasoline cars, people would complain about how loud they are, how smelly and dirty and dangerous they are. They would never catch on!
PS: If batteries suck so much, how come everyone loves their hybrids?
